Re: [BaadAssGremlins] nos gremlin grille



I think futura289 is Joe Gray here on this site. Not sure. Hell, we have bid against each other a few times. Sometimes I see something that will finish off a car and I get stupid myself on evilbay, knowing full well all I would have to do is simply.....pick....up....phone....and call many of the people I have dealt with the past decades on my vendors list to see if one of them have it, and well, usually non fee-bait prices.
 
Good and bad on ebay. Good is that everyone must remember there are AMCers in far flung places that can't find anything for their AMC Anything. So ebay is a big mall basically. Ok, garage sale. On the other hand you also see stuff you passed on at that AMC national or regional for $100 sail to hundreds of dollars more on fee bay. You have people seling things on ebay that have reproduced only one or two items, this is their way to sell. You have hundreds of people who are not members of any AMC online place, nor member of any national, local, regional AMC organization like chapter or club. So their only ties to find anything they need is believe it or not, off ebay, so they usually pay premium prices for not getting involved by paying dues or, well, joining something like this House of Bart. And then you have auctions themselves. How many of you have ever gotten a hard pee pee (ok, Lu & a few other quit reading now) but how many of you have ever been involved in a live auction? I have and used to go to 20-30 auctions PER MONTH, sometimes 2-3 a DAY here in Houston in late 80s/early 90s at police, storage and salvage auctions. I would pick up whole cars for $20-$100 each. That is right, 73 P1 black 401 AMX, Pierre cardin, bought it for $450 for instance. My site is littered with these cars I picked up. Anyhows, you get 'caught up' in the auction process and tend to sometimes get stupid. And it don't help when ebay sends you quick YOU HAVE BEEN OUTBID! notice by email or text, so you go bid again. So sometimes, whether at live auctions or online auctions shit happens during the auction process.
 
Ebay is good and bad. Sort of like a 59 Cadillac fins. You either love it or hate it there is no in between. Hopefully whoever ends up with say, this grill, is not a speculator wishing to 'cash in' on Enron stock 4-5 years from now and is someone who generally knows that the NOS parts have simply vanished in the last 10 years, and this could be their last chance to get one for their personal car!
