Good driver, good history and a great enthusiast owner. The market has spoken, and old Alfas are moving up fast.
I wish Bob well on the sale but E-bay leads people to count chickens early. I would be surprised if the dough shows up. Also worth noting is a zero feedback bidder dropped out at $27000 leaving two bidders that are probably legit but over the top. I've got a feeling the reserve was where the number should have been. Anyone know where that disappeared? I'm guessing that if you follow the trail of bids that were nibbles it will match up with the reserve when the peanut gallery bailed out. Some bidders have no intention of buying the car. They are only afraid it won't make reserve and they will never know the real asking price so they jump in the fray with no intention of buying it and nibble at the price to find the reserve all to learn the value of what they already own in their garage. Since they have no feedback score to be threatened, why should they care? Besides, they can invent a new pseudonym for another day.
