Ebay Golden Hawk. A person would put over 10,000 in it just to get it home. I bet it would take another 50 to restore.

this may be a result of a current thing with Ebay to post car listings for free or nearly so. I guess some guys figure there may be a sucker somewhere. Glad you posted it. It just helps us novices to get feedback from experienced guys who have some notion of value for these things

I said a couple weeks ago I thought there would be an increase in listings with unrealistic prices in this thread:

http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22107

I think this is one example, and I see several more that appear to be the same. There are over 60 listings currently, I think about 10-15 more than if they still had an up-front fee.

I think my prediction was accurate- just took a couple weeks longer to get going than I thought.

He just relisted it for $12500.00 apperently the way out of line price of $9500.00 was not far enough out of line.

Actually, he upped the BIN to a ridiculous amount, then added the Best Offer option.

I've sold quite a few guitars using that strategy, and on one occasion somebody actually hit the BIN.

Of course he raised the price....look at the link to another GH just like it that sold for $41K [:0]

But no battery hold down!! Actually, not even much of a battery tray left......

The original listing said it was 99% complete. Maybe he found another half-percent of the parts [:0] and has subsequently determined it is worth more. BP

Ummm, yeah. Well, there's a world of difference between those two cars... if not a universe.

I think he is from deep in the mountains.

[rusty65]

$10K for that car?? Oh, I get it,he forgot to include a picture of the experimental R-5 engine that comes with it!! LOL

[raprice]

Did you notice that there were NO bids on the car. I wouldn't have offered $950 for it. It would cost way too much to restore it.
