Actually Paul was saying what I've thought all along - people who *don't* wait until the last few seconds on eBay to bid are just creating an opportunity to get into a bidding war. With eBay, sniping is the name of the game. You make your highest bid in the last few seconds, and the trade off is that by doing so you give up any chance of raising it if you're not the highest.
I use auctionsniper.com
It does it automatically for you. And the nice thing about it is that if you set up a snipe with three days to go, and for some reason you don't want the item, you just go back and delete your snipe. You never bid on the ebay item as it doesn't place your bid until 5 seconds to go.

The pisser is Rich managed a REALLY nice article in Excellence immediately after buying mine to go with his Yellow coupe. The article got many of the details wrong about my car, where he got it, and he kinda claims credit for building it. All he did was add the Cool Suit system because it's so bloody hot/humid there in Fla. All the rest was done by me. No sour grapes at this point, doesn't matter anymore anyway. But I would love to know where that CS went.
Cheers

Yep, normal LHD Euro spec CS with those clear side marker/turn signals. I paid $14,000 for it, including shipping. ...

Excellence worked closely with me to get all the details right when they featured my car. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Like I said, doesn't matter at all now, it was annoying at the time though.

This Slate Grey coupe would make a good start for a DE/track car if it goes at a low enough price(currently at $4,350). No reserve on it, so could be interesting. 29 bids so far, so it'll likely heat up over the next 2 days of bidding. Where is it located? I don't see that on the listing.

Well it turns out that slate gray coupe has some issues. Big hat tip to a member on one of the other forums who pointed out the following, buyer beware, hope none of our Rennlisters are bidding:
"The bids as of today are below $5000 and the mileage is stated as 134,662. He ran a CarFax for grins and it is flagged for an odometer rollback. reported mileage by a Massachusetts inspection station 9/25/2003-153,574; 3/1/2004 159,723; 10/14/2004 166,776; 10/30/2006 190,735. Then on 10/5/2007 it was recorded another Mass. inspection station as 118,623. If you're bidding on this one, beware, do some homework!"

It also looks like a flood car by the look of the engine bay and stains on the carpets.

What was it, you have Cheap, Fast or Good - but you can only pick two.
I don't sell used over price stuff - mostly vintage and antiques, so of course it's worth it. Actually no one is buying much on eBay right now. I have 77 items online and only three with bids. I lose money every time I list something.
