That may be true, however I don't like to think that way. It's not a "crazy deal" I'm getting at this price (15% fee on top of my bid) and I'm not a reseller. So, if somebody outbids me I probably won't re-bid and I'll move on to the next! If I bought this, I'd still be scouring for a watch for my brother or a signed Derek Jeter game used bat for my friend or a bottle of 40 year old Glenfasrclas Scotch for some stranger that asked for help finding one on the forums. I love the hunt!

I kinda agree with that statement. I posted a 2006 here which had been on the lot for a while and it sold within a week of my post. But it could totally be a coincidence

Understood- I actually found the car on this forum in the Marketplace (I think it was removed), so I'm really not worried that I may be exposing it, but your points are definitely valid!

But it’s a manual/coupe! Jk, seems pricey or maybe the market is moving higher.
