I just got a reply from the seller, who said that the previous owner was "Jim Gray" (city undisclosed), and that he paid $84K and will sell for no less than $76K. I've bought a lot of things on eBay (but never a car) and my experience is that a desirable item often goes for much more than ordinarily expected, exactly because two or more people desperately want the same item. I think eBay is a great way to expose the car to a very large audience and get that kind of competitive bidding going. If I had way too much money, it looks like it would be a great stablemate for my '57 300C convert (also Gaugin) Ray Melton in New Mexico _____ From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Henry Schleimer Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2010 5:30 PM To: 'Bill Leahy' Cc: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [Chrysler300] Nice 300C coupe on Ebay / wow This car has been on ebay longer than I can remember. No one seems to get close to the reserve which I suspect is around the high 70's. The car certainly looks worth that or more but I don't think ebay is the way to sell it. To get a decent price at any auction you need at least two people who desperately want it at the same time.
