that's great news for all of us.

asking price is one thing, but who the heck is going to pay that?

There's pricing high, and there's smoking crack... This falls into the later.

Dudes... that's just the Buy it Now price.

If none of y'all wanna toss in a $12K Make Offer bid, I certainly will.

Let's get this thing rollin'... running the bids up $1K at a crack... whaddaya say? Whoever makes the $33K bid wins a case of beer.

After that, no more bids... and they'll wonder why.

Turbo S models are pretty rare and highly sought after. $800 is a bit on the high side but it's not as off base as you'd think.

Price is crazy , but let's not just simply state that they're asking $800K for a 993 (basic C2, NB), it is a Turbo S.

Too bad it wasn't driven; they're fantastic drivers and meant for much more. Now much of the perceived value is built around the low mileage (in addition to the model), but I suspect it will continue to change hands and never see much duty, as whatever owner will worry that each additional mile will hurt their "investment".

True. So it's only 400-500k over valued instead of 700k...

It's Park Place for sure. Check their satisfaction rating. 83% I would not buy from any ebay seller with a rating below 99%.

This is just cheap advertising for them. We see the ridiculous price, spread the link and pass the news, then go look at their other inventory. Good marketing actually.

I'm laughing more at the sellers listing of a Pontiac Fiero for $18,888 and 24 watchers.
