Guest Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Another great color choice from GM. Very similar to the Evening Orchid offered by Chevrolet in 1965. I always thought this color would have been stellar on a Corvette from the era, but it was not offered. Cheers, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41Fleetwood Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I wish I could see this in person, there are some areas besides the obvious dents etc that need attention, I went to 13,700 and was outbid which isn't to far off of what I would be willing to pay even if it I had seen it up close.

Now that the auction has ended, you could contact the seller, visit the car if you choose, and make a deal. The time pressure is off, unless he chooses to relist the car. I've done that once or twice successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ask for a Buy-It-Now Price? Many Ebay sellers will offer one especially to protect a legitimate bidder against sniping and save time. Listing states that it is a very solid daily driver. The car has been relisted, see link above your comment. Edited July 9, 2020 by 6T-FinSeeker fix typo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Fin-Seeker's auction statistics show that there isn't much benefit after a while for repeated Ebay auctions. I think the serious bidders have already tried, and decided that the seller's expectations aren't what they want--so they go elsewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Kind of reminds me of beating a dead horse. I agree every additional run through actually works to devalue the car a bit. It's only fresh once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6T-FinSeeker Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Both 1957 Cadillac Coupe deVilles that I posted are described by their Sellers as "driver condition". I thought it would be interesting to see the comparison between the two cars at auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
