I think no sale. Most likely we will not hear any more of this car for a few weeks, then it will turn up for sale for much less than $400K. Maybe it will show up at an auction like BJ.
Anybody know what the ebay fee is on a 400K sale? Seller might be willing to pay the fee to make the sale look legit. This would an example of artificially inflating the market value. This kind of scheme got a few folks in jail after the Savings and Loan scandals in the 80's.
Another possibility is that the seller will dream up a story about how he was victimized by unscrupulous bidders on ebay, and now needs to sell the car for its real market value.
Who knows? And more important, who really cares? I have no interest in doing business with this ebay seller clown or the parts place. The sellers replies to questions tell me all I need to know, I avoid these types. They simply don't have anything I need.
