The photos are the bidding threads. I was on it for a while. Anyway one minute after the high bid is $50, the next bid and winning bid is $57,500. I think he was trying to do $50,750. So there goes $7,000.

i agree with you, I’m happy with mine and have had already 6 offers on it, making as much as a $5,000 profit in 6months. I’m just trying to get another and use it as an investment. The problem is i am a value investor, i have been like that for 37 years and sorry that has worked for me and I am not going to change it and start speculating. My interest on this one was low miles and rare color combo. Il find the right one at the correct, price. I have bought and sold 7
new houses all over the country you got to buy them right, if you don’t you start upside down all the time. Maybe 996s are the new Bitcoin.

Beat the 1999 last week that sold for $55K. A 996 Turbo broke $100K this week too.

Its all downhill from here. People have accepted 996 is the next 964 the rest just fulfills itself week by week.

It is crazy , Warren Buffett, when other people are greedy be cautious, when other people are cautious be greedy. Anyway it still cannot beat $10,000 invested in Apple in 2009, today over $800,000 almost put me on the millionaire club by itself. And no that’s only my number 3 position in my portfolio. I just wished I had a bigger garage.

Maybe we can ship him off to the 992 Gt3 forum where he'll learn humility when someone responds with: that's cute, that's how much I spent on cars last year.
