Phoenix is going to fall off his chair.
It's a current model Aussie Land Rover on ebay from South Australia.

Well, if he wants AU$100,000 for it, it's certainly generous of him to throw in the trailer. [*Emoticon for D***head*].

I don't know where the rumours about car dealers having reputations for spotting a bargain comes from. Why, only a couple of months ago on REMLR we were discussing this very same vehicle when the original owner in WA had it for sale for AU$50,000. Surely it hasn't doubled in value already, has it? Very canny purchase by the dealer if it has.

But not very canny of him to formally enter it in an Ebay auction without setting a reserve

Remember the warbird sale on Ebay a while ago?
Current bid is a mere AU $1,035.00, sounds like a steal.

Just piss him off and bid it up $20 at a time!

Oh dear. His English skills remind me of a movie (can't recall the name though) where Sir John Gielgud approaches a US football player and asks: "Can you spell?"

Evidently this dealer missed out on the spelling phase of his schooling as well as the location of the spell checker on his confuser.

I think it should be bid at a cent per time if that were possible.

This landy has now been withdrawn from sale. Do'nt know much about E-Bay but had assumed that once the auction had started it was to run its course, the loophole being a reserve (if set) not met. Must get around to reading the fine print.

No reserve was set. Other than being sold, I suspect that is why it was pulled from the auction. We´ll know for sure if it reappears on Ebay. . .

I think that seller has appeared selling land rover parts for big prices once before!!

I did nearly fall off my chair though
