Bonehead ebay seller of the year!

[BKW]

Car dealer selling a new 2009 SRT8 Challenger (msrp $46,425) removes the reserve price at the beginning of the auction and lets the auction go to close.

Winning bidder gets it for $29,100. Now the Dealership is refusing to sell him the car

Just think of buying a guitar on Ebay and the seller goes... oops! Sorry, you really didn't buy it. Just Bogus!!!!!!

Wow that's some major BS.

I'd be highly upset if I was the winning bidder. The dealer removed the reserve by choice. So, if he didn't get what he wanted for it... then as I see it, that is his mistake and he should honor the sell! It does say at the bottom that the auction is a legal binding contract.. so the seller should be forced legally to go threw with the sale. On a side note: darn nice car!

I think this dealership is feeling the heat now!!!!

That thread on the Challenger forum has had almost a quarter of a million views in 5 days!!!!! There are also blogs popping up on it.

This is turning into 'United breaks guitars' without the catchy tune.

Wow, that is crap. The winner must of felt so good at first....

Just got word that the dealership finally honored the auction.

Glad to hear it worked out for him!

Well good! Heh I wonder if the dude responsible is still around.

[Erikrt123]

Oh that is good news! I am happy for the buyer! Wonder what it was that got him to change his mind? Thou, IMO there should never been a debate over it. That was in really poor taste.

Brian, stop buying every friggin' blue Challenger you see! Lol.

Would you guys not be dubious of people selling cars on eBay anyway?

There was an incident over here where a guy advertised a car, the buyers went to pick it up and were beaten (a man and his wife) nearly to deaf- all so the "seller" could steal THEIR car and the cash amount they were going to pay for the car he offered.

I'd stick with registered dealers personally, for every possible insurance (safety being the priority.

This is more of my type of car: cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge-Viper-SRT-10-2008-DODGE-VIPER-SRT10-COUPE-SSGREEN-ASANTI-WHEELS-NAV_W0QQitemZ300408018186QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item45f1b6950a (The green isn't far off of the EBMM Dargie Delight II in real life).

This was a dealership.... Actually one of the oldest in California. They have been in business for like 100 years.

I meant more a dealership in real life- a showroom, where you enquire face to face.

I'm extremely skeptical about buying over the internet, it's just too easy to rip people off.

and yea a car over the internet is lame
