Ebay.... wow, what a surreal experience. You can bid on a new CSX roller for $39,995 ( buy it now ) or $150,000 for a Superformance ( buy it now ). Neither reserve has been - or likely will be met.

What a hoot!! I would really hate to roll out my new Cobra with a marketing campaign on Ebay at a bargain basement price and have it fall flat on its face. Sets a scary precedent.

75 cars in a weekend at Monterey reported by "unnamed sources" at SAI? Only ONE bid which didn't meet the reserve from the entire world in the same amount of time on Ebay? Hmmm....doesnt exactly pass the smell test, does it?

This is going to be interesting marketing case study. I can tell you one thing for certain. The product with the best VALUE will ultimately win out in the marketplace. It will be a good thing for the consumer.
