Mike,
If you have had any experience with ebay, you will know that there are
many "bidders" and few "payers". In my business we call them whistling
gophers. That's the guy that looks at an item, whistles and says,"What's that
go for".
I guess for us they may be classified as internet tire kickers...Lot's of
talk and no cash. And don't you love the "informed emails" you get from the
"expert bidders".

Has anyone followed the recent ebay auction activity for Tigers?
What looks like a very nice, light blue MkIA with a ton of LAT options can't
make reserve, stalling at 22k and change.
Contrarily, another MkIA (the one that is now a "MkII" because the original
motor was replaced with a 289...or, so claims the seller), with a number of
changes to bodywork that would be very costly to reverse, no rare options, and
missing some important original pieces is going to sell for over 27k, based on
the last bid with 20m to go!
The difference? IT'S BRIGHT RED.
I guess that settles it, if we want to see Tiger prices go higher, we all
should just paint our cars red...
Seeing, you guessed it, red in NYC,
