Yeah Gary...I wondered the same thing....
I'm finally getting over my disgust with the whole situation, working on other possibilities. |

Looks like -thedon- beat you by only $10. Wonder if he's "The Don" from FerrariChat?

Try www.esnipe.com Great service, low cost, I've had no problems. It stores your bid - logs in and places your bid on ebay per your instructions (default is usually around 6 seconds from end of auction but you control it). Helps you hide your interest until very late in the game and keeps your early bid(s) from raising the price. Also lets you set up group bids so that you can place bids on similar or identical items and once you have won an auction it will not bid on the rest of the items. |

Jeff: If you could send me pictures of the system, I could make one for you.
I have my own TIG welding and exhaust bending machines.
I can use my own TR to make sure the system "lines up". |

Hi Jeff, please don't take this wrong. But I'm glad to hear I'm not the only F car owner on a budget. Every time a bill comes up for the car the wife wants to kill me. LOL |

www.phantombidder.com -- you won't always win, but you'll never miss the auction closing. |

Hi Bruce: I do have stock exhaust...but was really hoping to get that cool set-up off ebay. I don't like the stock muffler...even with gutted precats and cats the car makes no noise at all. And the weight....sheesh! I'm just an fcar owner on a shoestring budget and was hoping that just once things would go my way.....buuuuuuut nooooooo.......nooooo.......some other fella had the means to outbid me.....of course this doesn't take much. I'll just have to fabricate one up like Bill Badurski had on his car.
To everyone else here, thanks for sharing the pain. |

Typical EBay. If you really want something, don't bid early. It just drives the price up. The experienced people try to snipe it: they put a big bid in with seconds to go so they beat the next guy by the minimum amount. Been there; done that, on both sides. |

I know Jeff. I was watching a 328 exhaust for days and forgot when it was going down. Missed it. |

Boy some days you just know you shouldn't get out of bed, cuz something bad is going to happen. Well, I've been watching a TR exhaust system on ebay that was basically straight pipes out the back, stainless, bolting up to the stock mounts, well made. A nice, although probably loud, lightweight system. Well there's been little interest in it, as TR stuff doens't seem to do very well lately. It was not in my budget to buy, and the bidding started at $500 with no reserve. No activity at all for days. I sell some antiques to raise the money to get it. Each day my hopes get higher..which I know I shouldn't do. The auction gets down to 9 minutes, and some guy bids on it! So I counter-bid several times until it's now out of my reach if I'm to remain financially responsible for bills and such. It just sickens me ya know...you get in those streaks where nothing seems to work out. The high bidder will remain nameless although I think he posts here once in a while. "High Bidder" if your reading this, let me know how it sounds as I would like to have a system modeled after that one. I'm sorry to vent, but that's the way life goes sometimes.....Darn It!! |
