You may need to cut and paste the link, but it is in the Palm Beach Florida auction this weekend. It might have more miles on a trailer than driven! Lot # 333.1

That's just wrong. My neighbor lost $12k when he thought he was buying a restored Vette worth $75k over the Internet. Wired the money and lost it all.

Out of frustration he turned right around and purchased a 67 Impala SS Convertible from a local dealer called Automaniacs. I've visited their shop in the past. The prices were disgusting. They had 71' C-10, no a/c, mix-match parts and a so-so paint job. Wanted $17k. He paid $30k for his Impala with no a/c. They charged him another $1200 to add the a/c. Essentially his lost and subsequent purchase puts him at $43k for the Impala

So, this truck sold for $23,500 on ebay at the beginning of March and it sold Friday for $27,000. That's a $3500 gain in 30 days. Was it actually worth his time doing this? Pretty big gamble for only 3500 bucks. I would have thought that $23k was the high end for a truck like this and to try and get any more than that would be pretty risky. If I had tried this, I would've taken a $3500 loss, but that's just me. I have shi**y luck.

So, after all of this guys costs... getting the truck shipped, cleaning it up, etc... was it worth his effort?

I dont know why but something doesn't seem right about the truck, but then again i'm always skeptical with "low mileage" trucks.

If those numbers are correct, then the seller really didn't make much (if any) from the sale. Since he has to pay Barrett Jackson a commission fee (or seller fee) The buyer also has to pay a percentage fee to Barrett Jackson.

If memory serves me,,,,I believe it's 10% for both parties.

10% buyer, 8% seller. So the seller clear about $1500 on the sale, but depending on the day it was sold, there is also an entry fee for the sale, and transportation to the sale. Soooooo, my guess is the guy probably broke even at best.

I knew it was something like that

Not worth the effort for so little. I'm betting the seller thought he would get more for it.
