...Everyone has an opinion.
Midway through the auction, where I start at $20,000 with a reserve of $30,000 and an optimistic (but not wildly so) BIN of $36,500, I get this message:
Him: I buy for $23500
Me: The Buy it now price is $36,500, thanks.
Him: good luk idiot not worth more than $25.000
(Yes, I should have ignored him but I was bored and I took the bait)
I linked to a similar car bid up to $38,000.
Me: And yet... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Bentley-Continental-GT-CONTINENTAL-R-COUPE-/281805605420?hash=item419cec4a2c
I guess I need to park mine in front of a mansion when I take the photos...
And then...
Him: You know nothing idiot!!!! I drive Bentley's RR Lambo's Ferari since over 40 years. Bentley';s RR are te wosrt cars in the world , I have had over 50 cars first in 74 a Bentley Corniche 73 with 3000 miles which I had exchanged against diamonds in London at Asprey Jeweler in Bond strret . since I had all and if you want to drive a RR or B. you need 4 of those to be able to drive one. But when you have many cars you always need to show you have some RR Bentley's Always siomething wrong seats air condition sphere level eingine getting hot Avon no good after 3000 miles brake rotos shaking loosing and pissing oil and brake and level oils everywhere wind noise . I had the second delivered Continental R in Europe , magnolia leather spruce it was in April 91 and had the first delivered in Europe Continental T dec 95 Magnolia lether St james red, only kept the cars 6 months ans sold to Japon I still have a Cointi S which is same as r but with the 420 HP engine. same as T BRG pArchment piped spruce still like new. you car is nowadays not more worth than mine . $25.000 Black is very difficult to keep and black interior as well + all California cars have washed out wood and cracked varnish because of the sun heat. Anyway , I buy cars as Stock exchange - ALL SCAM - Gold = SCAM = diamonds = SCAM best I place those in the garage and they are there. Prefer to drive my AMG 500 SL 2000 NO PROBLEMS. The conti just had the passenger side widow regulator broke. I made it unmounted and saw the manufacturer in Germany . I wrote that I had same problem on 4 of my Continental r S T - They apologized and sent me anew complete window assembly ( Cost $1700 at RR FREE of charge Still packed since 2 month. not even opened it I would just buy you car to place in the garage , BETTER NOT TO DRIVE because you cannot afford obviously By the way I bought the Conti S 95 for $29.000 From Miami with 32000 miles , still like new last year was a mileneum 96 Conti R wide body , black met lether grey , 36000 mile took 6 months to sell for $27.000
I was going to leave it at that, but the auction on my car ended, final price was $30,000.
So, I foolishly respond
Me: Wow, that escalated quickly...
Btw, check out the sale price.
Him: Congratulation idiot ! $30.000 is the average price for those. But wait and see that the Ebay buyer will pay ! Bentley's and RR are bad old fashioned cars - Bad technical - built old fashioned way still using old type of clamp of the 1950's to tied up rubbers brake lines - old fashioned seals which do not seal at all , bad rubber molding - soft paint - bad leather ( Conolly was never a good leather compared to Mercedes Leather - varnish cracks everywhere , Lucas electrical RUBBISH not to compare with BOSCH , Avon tires rubbish , will last 3000 miles and are used on corners + you have to balance those every 1000 miles , brake are vibrating , Happened to me after a drive of 600 miles that I washed the Continental T which had 3000 mile under the wheels where the rotors got wet , those distorn from hot to cold water and had to be changed under guarantee, Those are SHIT CARS. 20 years ago I owned 16 cars in my personal use Lambo LP150 Prototypo 1988 (I Sold to Japan 1989 $1,200.000), 25 Anniverssary ( The first delivered at the Paris Auto Salon Sept 88 through Bolognini ( red met -Magnolia .

NOTHING BETTER THAN A MERCEDES
So now I'm clearly dealing with a crazy person as opposed to a troll, so I don't respond. Within 8 hours...
Him:
I see that the bid was made 35 minutes before auction ending . Very likely a friendly bid ( Sister - Brother or Schnuckyputzy ) to release the reserve price.
Your car will re-appear on Ebay very soon ! Good luck idiot
