1940 Cadillac Limo

Winning Bid, No Reserve, and Re-listed? Would love to know what happened....

Probably stopped by the seller before the Auction ended, as he probably thought it was Gold.   So, relist.

Bruce,
According to the ad, it ran its course with a winning Bid. The new owner backed out that quick? Without even a few days to ponder what he was getting into before he bid on it? You're logic is spot on, but that "Gold" theory will usually backfire because either you scare people away, or now they want it even cheaper because they figure something's fishy.....

Plus a lot of good parts if that is the way one wants to go.

Apparently, the "final" bidder on the initial listing did not come through, so CLC members, you've got another chance at this one.  It has so much style and possibilities... hoping it goes to a really good home and someone who can patiently persevere and bring this elegant beauty back to life.  James

I see a lot of cars on eBay that sold and then they are quickly re-listed. My bet is the winning bidder backed out.

My own Eldorado was the subject of an eBay listing, and was relisted when the winning bidder didn't want to go through with the deal, but that was after he saw it in person.   And I can't say I blame him.

It ended up being relisted another two times, not meeting the reserve, and I purchased it on the fourth attempt, still after it didn't meet the reserve.

And usually the next course of action is to offer the next one or two bidders a second chance offer. With that many Supposed bids, someone down the line would snap it up. Hey, if you can get it for a few bucks less, then that would be a deal for the buyer, and a win-win for the seller of not re-listing it again, by securing a legitimate bona-fide buyer......

James,
My hat's off to you regarding your optimism, not only in these financially trying times, but also taking into consideration the decline in value of this era vehicle. I know the experience of loss first hand with the '47 Convertible Coupe.

With my case, I had conversed with the seller, and was told what the reserve was, and therefore I could bid up to just below the reserve, and be the highest bidder.   He knew I wanted the car, and wasn't going to remove it from the Auction, which was fair enough for him.

BUT, I was prepared to go higher to get it, as this was the first one I had seen with all the options that I was looing for, as in Track Master brakes.
