    How can this be?
    « on: August 02, 2009 - 09:45:55 PM »
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge-Challenger-RALLYE-1973-DODGE-CHALLENGER-RALLYE-440_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem45ed452ea0QQitemZ300333477536QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks#ebayphotohosting

    How can this car bring this kind of money? $18,000? I put my blk 73 numbers matching 340, rust free, challenger on ebay 3 months ago and it stalled at 12,000.00. My car was imo better than this one. Is it the red color?   :villagers:

    Who knows with the color.  I wouldn't say that red cars inherently sell for more money but maybe that's what the bidder was looking for.  Who knows.  :dunno: It only takes 2 people to engage in a bidding war.

    It might be just as simple as the time of year.  Summertime is primetime.  Did you unload your 340 for $12K?

    Just depends on who's watching and bidding at the time. I've put stuff on ebay that never met the reserve, then when I relisted it, the bidding went way over the reserve.

    Most of the bidders have few feedbacks so their bids most likely are not real.
