Congrats Big Swole AGAIN. You know I was thinking how they have guys at the carnival who guess your weight or your age, you could set up a booth and guess what people paid for their cars.

 

Sold for $38,500. Congrats Big Swole yet again! Six rings, just like Jordan.

 

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 :-)

 

LOL. Wonder if I could make a living at that?? lol

I wished. Would be way less dangerous.

lol. Thanks man.
That last $250 handed it over.
Honestly surprised it stopped there. Figured it was going to hit 39 for some reason.

 

and side question: how many accounts on BaT are straw bidders run by the company? in looking at the profiles it looked like >50%.

 

Hmmm.

Good Question.

 

Congrats Big Swole!

 

Half of the bidders had never made a single purchase but had a wide range of lowball bids on a variety of cars. Most people dont have such diverse taste. I started to suspect BaT has some house accounts.

 

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.

 

Congratulation Big Swole! Man just when I'm gaining up on you, you take off again. I need to add turbo or something...

 

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

 

Okay Folks, here's the next Auction. I picked it because it's the same year and car I own. More miles though and a different color.

2012 997.2 Turbo S w/ 51K Miles

I like to stay up on these for obvious reasons, in the event I'm forced to sell mine someday.

GET YOUR GUESSES IN BY SUNDAY OCT. 6TH AT 2:25 PM (EST) for the "cut off".

$77,500 - Hindsight2010

 

Very strong first guess. Almost dead on IMO.

 

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.
