1959 Chrysler Imperial New Yorker LeBaron Crown South Hampton...say ...

["Stevan Miner" <miner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,
Usually the reason they have the bidders identities hidden is so another
person watching the auction that has a similar car to sell doesn't contact
the person bidding on the eBay car and spoil the sale of that one. I've sold
quite a few cars on eBay but have never used this method. Like you said, I
just think it creates too much suspicion.
