A woman I know is married to a guy that has a Shelby GT 350, that is absolutely stunning. It's a '69 I believe, and it's that aqua blue color. Somebody "gave" this car to him. I've never bothered to ask who, or why....I really don't want to know.
Anyway, the car got hit a couple years ago and sat in a shop for about two years waiting for parts, but it's finally back together. Every time I see this woman she tells me her husband has the itch to sell, but she always says "he'll never do it."
She told me he had it on Ebay recently, and he set the reserve for somewhere around $80k, and it topped that, but he didn't sell. I told her (I never saw or looked for the ad on ebay) if you put a car on ebay with a reserve and it's met, you have to sell. She just said, well I don't know about that, but he still has it.
Hey, she could be full of it (as far as him selling) for all I know, but what happens when you have a guy just testing the waters like this guy does every now and then? I thought that ebay had a legal team that tried to keep everything on the up and up?
I've heard of sellers getting screwed by buyers that don't have the money, or never intended to actually buy the car, but what happens when a seller backs out?
