True enough, not a rule; just the gentlemanly thing to do.
In the fighter pilot world: "technique only"

Of course, when you're winning by a mile, you should just expect to take a little ribbing....

 

Taking a flyer.

It's going to take someone of specific tastes to want that car. And a very flat driveway entrance.

lol

I don't mind the "ribbing" one bit. I love it. However, I hate losing (at anything).

I wouldn't have a problem making first guess with proper time to research the car / market. I just couldn't that day or all week. Still out here on the range trying to help save these two recruits jobs. (they can't shoot for chit). lol

 

Wow, and I thought I was going low with my bid. Middle of the pack now. And oh, wolfsburdge, is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me

 

Well, there seems to be one really serious bidder going up $5,000 at a time, so $62,000

Are you guys checking out the other current BaT auctions?

A 2008 Carrera that sold for $30k in April, 2019 ... might be a good judge of how values are headed: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...11-carrera-15/

A crazy Safari build that's already at $90k two days out: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-carrera-s-47/

A 2013 GT3 Cup genuine race car: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2013-porsche-gt3-cup/

Several other 997's too ... our cup runeth over.

 

What a cool thread. Will get in on the next auction.

 

That one just sold for $32K (plus BAT fee). That's 2 years and 16K miles later, including winter driving.....

 

Bidding getting interesting at $50k now, was wondering if seller was essentially going to get $0 for the X51 and the mods. . . Now $51k. . .

 

Sold on 2/24/21 for $51,500 to DoubleR
Congrats to jimfuerst!

 

Thanks! that was luck...I thought my bid would be way too low
