Did not now there was such a big party of RL'ers over in BaT...
I figured the wheels and badging would turn some people off that 997. I was hoping I could sneak a bid in. Anyway, at $38.5 its a great buy. I think the seller could have got more listing on RL, or Craigslist.
Unfortunately it surpassed my pain in the *** threshold. Work busy and I was dreading the mental energy required to explain to my wife, neighbors and friends why I bought the exact same car I already own. They just dont understand these things :-)

I wished. Would be way less dangerous.
That last $250 handed it over.
Honestly surprised it stopped there. Figured it was going to hit 39 for some reason.

Lots of people on BAT just like to make the early initial bids to get things going and never have intensions on buying anything.
I've done it (On something I liked) a few times.
I'm sure there are fake accounts too though.

Me too. I've bid on a handful, all cars I would buy. I won one, a 2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca.

OK, I'm going higher on this one - it is a gorgeous turbo, although PDK, service records and a one owner car, with some pricey options. Miles aren't bad either, altho a bit hi for a 2012.
