Now this is a tactic I've never seen used when trying to sell a car
This is pathetic. Does this guy think he has a collectable on his hands?

I'm sure we'll never see this car ever at Barrett Jackson.

Did you see this guys little update at the bottom of the auction? our anger is misdirected? Please... the fact that you are trying to make a profit over glamourizing a terrible tradgedy? I love his justification... If Neo-****'s can do it, so can I!!!

Wow, this guy really thinks he isn't doing anything wrong.
Yeah, nothing wrong with selling a car that was owned by a suspected terrorist but when you use that as a selling point, thats when you have a problem...

It's almost entertaining when somebody is on eBay with a big fat "0" feedback - a brand new seller - and thinks he knows all the ropes. If he can't move that car on eBay, he may never get over market value for it.

Well . . . . Someone, somewhere has kept Bonnie and Clyde's car. Probably still has the dried blood.
thing is though is that he uses the word "suspect". It was probably one of the poor guys who was born here (3rd generation even, their grandpa probably rode with Sherman or Grant!) in the US that was detained and let go due to mistaken identity. Now, due to the bad rep it gave him he can't keep a job so he's broke and he had to sell his car to this clown. This guy game him 3k for it because no one else was going to buy it from a "suspected" terrorist.
Kinda like George on Seinfeld buying the old Labaron Convertible because it was owned by "Jon" Voigt!!

His statement at the bottom of the listing seems to clash with the listing title, trying to capitalize on terrorism. Asswipe deserves all the hate mail and then some.

Anyone notice that the car was fairly riced out? We could make the tie that ricers are terrorists from this post =P
I know its sorta off color but it popped into my head and I really hate ricers.

Just when I though my opinion of ebay couldn't drop any lower.
Uh, I used to drive to Las Vegas from Los Angeles sevral times a year and at the state boarder there was a casino called whisky petes where they had the Bonnie and Clyde's car. And yes we did stop and look at it once (and drink sevral $.99 beers) does that make me a sicko? Dunno, seems like it was more of a example of don't mess with uncle sam. Kind of like the don't drink and drive campain where put a mangeled car on display.
sorry... I'm rambeling... yes the ebay scam is sick. <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" />
