:D :lol:

there's so many auctions out like that now. :roll: talk about being 'original' ha. anyways, does anyone know what was in the 'mystery envelope' or what was in the 'mystery box?' I never did find out...

27 bidders??? who in the right mind would bid on something that they didnt know what it was?!??!?! and its up to 600 dollars! man im going to sell things like that!

i should sell a mystery house, the only guarentee is that it is in good condition, is it a cottage? is it a mansion? you wont know unless you buy it!

how bout just a mystery item period! who cares.... i mean geez...im going to sell a 'tire' motorcycle? bike? car? spare? who knows.... but it has air!!

I like how there's multiple pictures...what's with that? :roll:

Sounds to me like he's really saying: "I have a POS that, if you could see it, no one in thier right mid would ever buy. But since e-bay is full of idiots with nothing better to spend thier money on, I'll call it a Mystery Car"

:?

Or it could be a Bentley.. you never know :lol:

its parked in front of a pretty nice crib...

any body else notice that the box should be bigger for a good sized car? think its a little festiva or something.

Or a Mini or Elise. :wink:

i tihnk the first pic is fornt view and second pic is side view, assumeing the boxes are right at the cars edges, assuming that there car is actually in those pics, lol

or it's the picture of someone's driveway and they put a white box to make it look like a car...there probably never was a car in the picture.

Are you guys serious????

THERE IS NO CAR IN THOSE PICS. IT'S JUST A FRIGGIN HOUSE WITH A QUESTION MARK ON IT. I BET MY SAVINGS THAT ISN'T EVEN HIS HOUSE!

<--- thinking the same thing...I bet its a nice car..or an uber huge scam to deceive...I parked my POS at my rich buddies moms house

That's about the stupidest thing I have ever seen. It could be so many different things. The seller/sellers could have money coming out of their butts and be selling a Bentley just for fun. Or they could be selling the crappiest car that has ever been seen. But it sure does bring in the money. I should try getting some money by selling something like that. I could sell them the "Mystery Bag." I would put an old twinky and a toothpick or something in the box. I end up selling it for like $300, oh boy, that would be grand.

Ya, but he does have 100% feedback. And he does indicate the "car" is registered, not to mention driveable.

Mmm Twinky..

Indicates.. Sellers lie my friend. It says it has an Automatic, which rules out a lot of cars..


-justin

it also says its from 1900, lol i would go by the description it cud really be anything, probly a rusty old geo tho

Sellers build their reputation through that feedback rating. I don't think he's out to scam anyone. Reputation speaks volumes about the integrity of a person.

You guys are missing the point, I think, if I understand the rules right. As long as you follow the rules, you can sell a "mystery" item, and get whatever people will pay, as long as you do not misrepresent what you are selling. That means no false claims, but, then again, if you make NO claims, what's the crime? It is, in effect, a form of gambling. Seems to me we should all take advantage of it, and sell all our crap this way, lol ;) At least what we have that's worth, say, under half a grand or so... we'd end up getting more out of it than it's worth purely because of people's insatiable curiousity! Gotta love the human race... :roll:

who said it was a crime or against the rules? its just an unidentifies car for sale, nobody said that was illegal

Effin dumba$$es. :lol: They actually bid. :lol:

651.99......doh!

its probally a powerwheels car

Hrmmm...think I'm just gonna put a bunch of rocks and trash in the box ....talk about a profit margin lol

My point exactly ;)

And it's LEGAL! Again, God Bless this mess...

You thought that that was a ripoff????

heck just sell a pile of snow that is shaped like a car i bet you would get a buyer be like "it could be a pile of snow or a real car or mabe a mystery under the pile of snow that doesnt even resemble a car happy bidding" haha that will come next.

If you look in the "bizarre" category you will find everything from old socks, to unknown liquids, to mystery boxes and rocks shaped like funny objects. Ebay is full of the weirdos.

the alaskan mystry car is probably a mustang
1) dual exaust
2)fetured in movies
3)bucket seats
If its not its probably 60's to 70's muscle car

Im thinking the same thing.
8.,000 and reserve not met

i tihnk the alaskan mystery car is a vette, lookd too short and low to be a mustang

Just to chime in on the feedback rating thing: My husband and I have a high feedback score, and somebody was able to get into our account and list a few auctions, some really ugly 22 inch spinners to be exact. They also hacked our email and disabled it while the auctions were running, and hid them so if we accessed our eBay, they didnt show up on our Selling list. They racked up charges to our ebay account, and I discovered it soon enough to change all of our information and before they buttpirate got into our paypal. I had to pay the $80 in listing fees to eBay, even though they could see that the auctions were listed by a third party, I guess I'm supposed to be seeing a refund sometime this month.....whatever. Also, it is common for people to steal account identities to list scam auctions on cars, ATV's, and snowmobiles....on a snowmobile forum I frequent, alot of the gallery photos where stolen and used in auctions that where listed under stolen accounts.

I love eBay, but hate the scam artists!!!


And, I think the snow-car is a Vette.

I'm gonna bet Ferrari, there are more the 14 vette's or 'stangs on ebay. :wink:

I was going to third the Vette motion, but BonneMe brought up a really good point...


Could it be a newer Jaguar coupe? Got that impression, for some reason...

a ferrari wouldnt sell for 20k, plus he might be reffering to his specific year, edition, or generation

the damn thing is up to 1,225 bucks!! Hope its worth it
