I really hope you aren't taking advantage of some poor old lady who doesn't know what she has.

If she is wealthy and just doesn't want to screw with it, that is one thing, but if she is eating cat food to stretch her social security check, you should be ashamed of yourself.

You are such a nice guy you are willing to give her 10% of what her stuff is worth? You are proud of that?

I like a good deal as much as the next guy, but some good deals just ain't right.

Not kidding.
You know, that's what I kind of thought too, Tom....
Anyhow, I hope she is wealthy enough to give two 911s away - and a GTO?
It's good that you're offering her some money, I agree. Assuming these are semi decent 911s they're worth, what, anything from $7k (for the two) to like $15+ and more if it's an S. And the GTO?
Many, many people would rip off an elderly women selling her dead husband's cars - maybe a lot of them are junk, of course.
The question is: is right to - assuming they aren't junk - inform the person that they're worth more than free/$1k and offer to help them sell it for something like what they're worth (on Ebay?), as a favor (can't see many people doing that), or just snap them up and sell it for much more? The deciding factor for me would be, is she a truly "wealthy widow" or could she use the cash? I couldn't do it if it was the latter....
Sorry to run you through this moral angle, Kurt, but the subject (i.e., elderly widow sells/give deceased husbands cars for nothing) kind of demands it.

BTW. I put told Tom, who bought your 912, about the car, and recommended it to him when I saw it for sale on the BBS.
