Default Actual $100 Bid

Actual bid of $100 dollars came in on a 2008 Saleen SC281 ($58k Vehicle)...

"I just came out of a 20 year relationship and he took both vehicles so I've been riding the bus through rain storms,blistering heat and filthy buses for three long years-I have made an offer -very low bid but maybe you can get all of your money back over the $100.00 that I have bid as a charitable donation,I think that is called -any finacial loss. I would forever be grateful to you for helping me get off of that crouded filthy bus lifestyle and lugging heavy shopping around instead of putting my things into a vehicle and going to the next destination plus this vehicle is gorgeous!! Please consider this even if the bid runs out.My name is Debbie."

Damn, $10.00 then another $5.00?! I unfortunately missed the last few C.I. meets but I'm glad I wasn't there for that crap.

True, in these hard times of $4.00 per gallon fuel prices, mass transit is the shiznit.

Half a dozen? Wow...all the more reason to not even get married in the first place.

I would send Debbie an e-mail asking for pictures.


But three years after getting out of a 20 year relationship and still alone... my guess is she's no trophy.

Military bases are the worst places for getting hit up for cash. It was someone who was in the Army or Marines and had to drive 1 hour away to meet their brother, etc. but needed gas money. I hated it!

I had a guy here in Southern MD. offer me $600 for a brand new set of AFR 165 heads for small block Ford. He gave the "I'm divorced and paying child support and need the heads for my Mustang. I work at Mr Tire, maybe you saw it there?" Well *******, maybe you need to sell the Mustang and get a cheaper hobby if you can't afford this one. He even said "C'mon man, please??!!??"

Where do these people come from?
