I've already got one so I wont be bidding

Looks like he sold it....

Was anyone here quick enough to get it ?

must have sold it elsewhere. he put starting bid at $4000 and got no bids...
sold it elsewhere by the looks...
surely he would have got 7 or 8 for it

I saw it get one bid @ $4000... but yeah he had it in the Trader for $6500

would be a nice car for the price...

When I checked it had 2 bids. Possibly he got cold feet, and was concerned that it was not going to sell for an acceptable price. Also of course possible he sold it elsewhere. That's the trouble with ebay. Bargains are rare - if you get a good price it's either 'o, the item got stolen' or 'the item got lost' or they whack on such a huge postage cost that the bargain is no more. Also not uncommon is for the 'bargain' to get it's listing pulled just when it is starting to look like noone else is interested (all of these examples have happened to me) So it's no point getting excited about the possibillity of a bargain when it comes to ebay...

O god dude ebay is the perfect place for bargains. You mustnt use it or your looking at the wrong stuff. I love buying stuff off there. Its quick and easy and usually the price is way cheaper than anywhere else. Like i buy car bits, and they are usually the same price a wreakers would cost me, plus i dont have to muck around pulling the part out of the car. The other things I buy are bits like electronics gear. I bought a led torch with white leds around the outside, UV leds inside that and a laser in the middle. I keep it in my car and I think all up cost me $12. In australia all I have seen is a crapy 4 white led torch or something close to that for like $20. Or like a little SD memory card reader, $10 off ebay, works fantastic. The cheapest one dicky smith offers is $29.99. Mate ebay is great, just gotta know where to look and who to buy from.

o.k there are many good bargains on ebay....agreed

haven't seen so many cars being good bargains but... usually there in another state postage is expensive!!!

@ $6500 it would have been a bargain if it was exactly as he decribed...

series 2 have been selling for over 9 G's in the Car yards...

The only way you'll get a series 2 as cheap is if you bought it at an auction.
