Sakic's 'stang sale

by Ross at 08:20AM (EDT) on July 6, 2004 | Permanent Link

I thought that I went out on a limb by buying appliances on eBay. I can't imagine buying a vehicle, never mind one listing at $160,000..

Of course, the fanboy in me is definitely attracted by the fact that this is (was?) Joe Sakic's car.

If you had the money, would you give someone with an eBay reputation of four, $160,000?

a friend of mine bought a 2000 corvette convertible on Ebay. I thought he was insane! A year later and the car still looks and drives like a dream. I don't know if I could drop 30k to buy a car through ebay

Did he get a chance to check it out before he bid? That's a ton of cake to drop without taking a test drive first.
Hrm. I just realized I have a story to tell about that...

He got to check it out, but had to fly to NY from LA to do it. closed the deal that weekend and drove it across the country. Ended up with only one speeding ticket.

I bet the speeding ticket was in Wyoming. They see an out of town plate and to them it reads "Sucker". The only ticket I got in my life was in that god-awful state; they knew I couldn't stick around to protest it.
I would drop that money on ebay, but I'm not sure if I would do it without SOMEONE other than the seller inspecting it. You can do the local sales only; that way you can drive to the seller's house to take a look.
