If you go to the auction page for this car, you can tell the guy is totally overwhelmed by the massive amount of interest it got. Good for him.Edit for misspelling.

1. OMFG! For a rusty car with no motor???????

Time to start hitting the junk yards!

2. I'm looking for the wrong stuff, never mind the Faberge egg,

I'm heading for the junk yard. This is crazy but is it true? If it is, good for him.

3. I found the listing on ebay. If that happened to my I'd have a heart attack and die.

That's a whole lot of $4,000 PayPal payments.:rofl:

4. Did you read the questions attached to the listing?

Hilarious. I think at the end he tells bidders"you might as well forget about paying through Paypal". I love to see stories like this. He's from Harrison MI,a very good chance he's not terribly wealthy.Good for him (and yes,I'd have a heart attack,but how exciting it would be!).

7. One of those questions made me think he had put a $4,000

buy-it-now option on, but someone chose to make a bid and cancel it out. If that was the case, he's a very lucky guy.

8. I saw that too but still don't understand how that worked.

Does the seller have to cancel a buy-it-now and relist?

[Vinca]

9. No. If you list an auction with a "buy it now" feature that has a lower

opening bid, the "buy it now" disappears as soon as someone makes a bid unless the reserve hasn't been met.

5. That was a great read!

I really liked the person who put it right out there about what an important car that was in their question.

6. Yeah, that was pretty cool and it was a great read. I like happy

endings.
