EBAY sale- I am ill!!
What in the world happened here??? A truly fine 310 coach sold for 13,700???
Man I would have bought it if I had thought it would only go for that....this was one that I had the pleasure of seeing when it was here in GA 2 yrs ago or so for a Rally...what a nice deal for some lucky buyer. It was the Curt and Mandy honeymoon coach,,,maybe Curt bought it back,,,,,seems like 9000 less it sold for when he gave it up.

If thats the one I think it is....yeah, wow! Is this the one that was owned by the photographer guy, and he was full-timing in it with his new bride? I met them/saw the rig at our region rally a couple of years ago, and wow, what a nice MH. Nice folks, too...

That little 310 looks amazing from the photos. I would have bid on it in a heartbeat too, especially had somebody been able to vouch for it beforehand like Alan did. But then again, the high bidder is probably lurking and new to keep his mouth shut. Oh well, there will be more.
In edit: I still have edit minutes and see its available again. That buyers remorse just gets under my skin and I hate that for the seller. Go get it Alan!

Oh, that is brilliant! I hope this ends happily!
If every forum member chipped in a buck, we could buy it for Alan!

"Buyer's remorse"? What did the guy think he was buying, a new one? The thing's in awesome shape for being nearly 25 years old!

yes its up again! I 'd love it but can you say D-I-V-O-R-C-E??
since I now own a Sovereign 31 and an F250 I think I am set....but after having a love affair with the last Moho I hope this one goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as we did ours. Yes I can vouch for it being very nice when we last saw it.

Anytime you see an eBay auction close with a zero bidder as the high bidder you can count on the item being relisted. Looks like a very nice coach for anyone who might be in the market to get in cheap.

Too bad its not a diesel then it would be almost perfect. eBay is so unpredictable and I believe it is getting worse particularly for the seller.

This reminds me of what someone told me about selling on EBay. This person did not like selling with reserves. I asked him what happens if you don't get the bids you think you will? He told me that a few extra ID's never hurt. I am not saying that this is the case here, but it does happen. So does shill bidding.

I assume that the only thing a few extra ID’s would be used for is shill bidding. Did you know that at many auctions the auctioneer can bid on the item he auctioning. I did some research on auctions after going to a boat auction for damaged boat from hurricane Ivan. It was very eye opening.

Round 2 ended with a $16,500 bid. The winning bidder has no(0) prior ebay transactions.

I was kinda coaching a bidder who had wanted my moho, but procrastinated.
Surprised he did not jump at 16500, it was sure well worth that.

Shilling, false or friends bidding the price up,
Is out of control on Ebay.
If I'm bidding on something and a zero shows up, it is over for me and I ask for my bids to be removed.
Bad enough getting items grossly misrepresented, don't need more problems.
The more leget sellers are banning zero bidders on large items.
Scary to look thru a sellers history of items and se the same bidders over and over.
It is getting close to Halloween though....
