The tricks people use: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1 Have a look at the single posted question at the bottom of the page - a clubby on ebay - he must have gotten a dozen questions but he chooses to only make this one public. An "expat who just moved to Australia", "Please let me know if you have not found a suitable buyer by then so that we can negotiate a purchase" - yea right. I'm sure that it worked and now there's a frenzy of bidding to beat this wealthy "expat" with a handy 10k to the mark. |

It is worth what he wants but no one will be willing to pay for it. If the engine is what he says it is that along would be 5-6k to build. He has pent the money and he wants some of it back. Can't blame him really. Now if it was a round nose i wonder if peoples opinions might change.... Just a thought.... don't get upset now. Cheers Aaron |

He definitely has it listed elsewhere - and for 500 less!! For sure the money has been poured into it but realistically you would be dreaming to recoup the costs of rebuilding a car from scratch - a recent so-called "cooper S" being sold privately in QLD for $23k then subsequently finding out that it was a mini K!! Needless to say the would be seller scurried under a rock when he was found out(an older country gent caught the 18yo out after bombarding him with questions...lol). Sorry - I again put the soapbox away. Geez this closet needs some more light!! Rob Forsyth Miniot!! |

Oh I'm not arguing whether its worth the price - I'm just questioning the slightly lame attempt at posting a question from an "expat" that he probably wrote himself - so as to make potential buyers scared that the car will be gone in 2 weeks and start a bidding frenzy now. That "inquiry" just glares at you as fake and contrived. |
