Re: Super Autavia Through the Roof
In Response To: Super Autavia Through the Roof ()

: A very nice Super Autavia just sold on eBay for $11,211.11

: What amazes me is that there were three others, also nice, on the
: bay, and one sold for $3700, one for $3500, and one didn't sell
: at $5995 (this was the one offered first time around for $9995,
: and subsequently reduced).

: That people would bid up the one to over $11k and not even notice
: the others is quite astounding. I wonder if it will be back on
: ebay next week at $15k?
The very fact that there were others available at the same time should shed some light. This one was early with papers. Maybe experts can chime in on that case as it certainly looks original. I wouldn't be surprised if the high bidder already has one or two mid year jobs; probably didn't pay $3500+ either as even those prices were unheard of not long ago.
