Little anecdote.
When I bought my 356C back in '05........it was listed on eBay with a starting price and a BIN price.
It had been listed in the early morning hours and had no bids yet.
There was a description and maybe about 3 photos.
The description made it sound pretty good. But the photos weren't all that great. The seller listed his name and phone number to call for questions....but I knew at the starting and BIN price this thing could be gone real quick.
Took me about a minute to make my decision to just hit the BIN button.
Turned out really great. Car had a working electric sunroof which wasn't even mentioned - nor could you see it in the photos. The engine was being rebuilt at the time of the listing...something also not mentioned. Car had no dents - everything worked - and after the engine was re-installed and tuned up - I caught a greyhound down (Ft. Lauderdale) and drove her back on I-95. She ran great too.
Some people just don't set up their classifieds the way they should. Sometimes it's our gain.
