$50,000 Victoria

[Vern]

There's a leatherback Victoria on eBay listed for $50K, Ford: Model A
272347970992
For that kind of money wouldn't you think the seller could pull it out of the garage & post some decent photos?

Could be a situation like: "But honey, I had it up for sale and no one even made an offer"

And why does he have a picture of a CHEVY in his add?

Pretty rough looking car
Lots of issues - headlights, kick panels, radiator rough, etc.

What else is hidden?
$12,500

Doesn't look like a $50K car to me? Sealed Beam Headlight conversions etc, etc. At this price, he is going to own it for a long time.

If he was sincere it wouldn't be on EBay. His presentation suggests he had never sold a car before. I am not impressed. Wayne

He's dreaming, hallucinating or going to be the luckiest man alive!!!
Dollar Bill may have pegged it!

Having the restoration of my 190A at 99%, I can understand a 190A listing for $50,000 or more. However, the owner of the car in the photo is fishing for an unknowing buyer with a lot of discretionary cash.

The sad thing is a buyer who overspends on a car that looks great but is far from being authentic, experiences the agony of the car not performing and or showing well.

That has to be the case. It doesn't even have a pinstripe.

The price seems inline with his other current auctions and his completed auctions.

Put a high price on anything on eBay for long enough and some fool will come along and pay it! It's nuts!

I have to think he is fishing too. There were several Model A's in the Owls Head Museum auction last weekend, and I bet you could have bought three open cars for that price. This one followed me home for $8800 - which includes the 10% buyers premium!

Wow, Mark W. Looks like a good buy!

"Wow, Mark W. Looks like a good buy!"

To me, it's more of a "good-bye". Way too much wrong with it from just the included photos to even being a list. What DON'T we see?

I think he's talking about the car Mark bought at the auction.

I've got to remember this ploy when my wife gets on me about the old cars... Cheers

please list what you see wrong! Wayne

Yes, Bob is correct. I should have been more specific that my comment about a "good buy" being a "good-bye" to me was referring to the original post the eBay Vicky, not Mark C.'s terrific phaeton purchase. I was trying to make a bad play on words, but was unclear what I was referring to. My apologies for any confusion I caused.
Yes, Mark C.'s phaeton was one heck of a buy at $8800!!! Congratulations. My '28 phaeton cost a lot more than that and didn't look nearly as good!
