·I was gonig through the recently closed auctions on ebay tonight (12-5) and found the following:
12 SSRs sold between 11-23 and 12-3
Lowest winning bid: $48,501
Highest winning bid: $50,750
Other winning bids: $48,700, $48,700, $48,900, $49,500, $49,995, $49,995, $50,000, $50,000, $50,000.99, $50,501.
What I find curious is that 7 winning bids are by a jpete33 and 2 by another bidder, the other 3 are all different individuals.
What could this guy be doing with 7 SSRs? From the sale prices I don't see how he can resell and make a buck. He's the highest winning bidder at $50,750 and no other sales higher than that so far, even though there are almost 3 pages of SSRs for sale. Perhaps he has clients already lined up. Hmmm...
I suspect the longer we wait to buy, the better the price will be.
One local dealer wants $15,000 over and another thinks he'll try to get $10,000 over MSRP. I think they're nuts and apparently most everyone else does too!
The people with higher reserves are not selling. Great news for potential buyers. A little patience will save you thousands!
One other point if you want to use this information at your local dealer when negotiating price. The seller has to pay ebay a fee. I don't know how much that fee is but you need to subtract that from the sale price to get the effective selling price of the seller. I'm sure someone on this forum can tell us what that fee is.
