$50,000 Victoria
There's a leatherback Victoria on eBay listed for $50K, Ford: Model A
272347970992 For that kind of money wouldn't you think the seller could pull it out of the garage & post some decent photos? |

Re: $50,000 Victoria
Could be a situation like: "But honey, I had it up for sale and no one even made an offer"

Re: $50,000 Victoria
Pretty rough looking car
Lots of issues - headlights, kick panels, radiator rough, etc. What else is hidden? $12,500 |

Re: $50,000 Victoria
Doesn't look like a $50K car to me? Sealed Beam Headlight conversions etc, etc. At this price, he is going to own it for a long time. |

Re: $50,000 Victoria
Having the restoration of my 190A at 99%, I can understand a 190A listing for $50,000 or more. However, the owner of the car in the photo is fishing for an unknowing buyer with a lot of discretionary cash.
The sad thing is a buyer who overspends on a car that looks great but is far from being authentic, experiences the agony of the car not performing and or showing well.

Re: $50,000 Victoria
The price seems inline with his other current auctions and his completed auctions.

Re: $50,000 Victoria
Put a high price on anything on eBay for long enough and some fool will come along and pay it! It's nuts!

Re: $50,000 Victoria
I have to think he is fishing too. There were several Model A's in the Owls Head Museum auction last weekend, and I bet you could have bought three open cars for that price. This one followed me home for $8800 - which includes the 10% buyers premium!

"Wow, Mark W. Looks like a good buy!"
To me, it's more of a "good-bye". Way too much wrong with it from just the included photos to even being a list. What DON'T we see? Marshall, Nov. 1930 softback Vicky |

Re: $50,000 Victoria
Yes, Bob is correct. I should have been more specific that my comment about a "good buy" being a "good-bye" to me was referring to the original post the eBay Vicky, not Mark C.'s terrific phaeton purchase. I was trying to make a bad play on words, but was unclear what I was referring to. My apologies for any confusion I caused.
Yes, Mark C.'s phaeton was one heck of a buy at $8800!!! Congratulations. My '28 phaeton cost a lot more than that and didn't look nearly as good! Marshall |
