Looks like somebody had a reasonably complete 308 and is now trying to disintegrate the hulk down to each individual piece in an attempt to milk maximum profit on E-bay. (Look at their OTHER auctions.) Notice how they stripped all the parts off the engine, and in reality, most likely reduced the number of potential bids from anybody who needs a completely intact engine. Since most 308s with underhood fires usually have a lot burned off the top, those in need probably won't be bidding on this engine either. Unless of course you want to take your chances and try winning a few dozen other auctions in order to get all the parts back that were removed in the first place. What a waste.

Add up the sum total off all the bids on all the parts and what do they equal? The guy could have saved himself a lot of trouble if he had simply sold the wrecked car for a few thousand and been done with it.
