Amazing. Why anyone bids on
Amazing.
Why anyone bids on eBay beforehand is beyond me. I really don't understand the value of bidding any time but the last few seconds. Why give anyone time to ponder a counter?

Wow
I watched this auction. I initially thought about bidding but waited to see how rich the bidding would get. Didn't take long. If this is a trend I will probably never own a pre-1955 BMW...

But could you buy a basket
But could you buy a basket case R68 (need to find one first!) and then maybe spend $30K? That would be cheaper than this one and I bet it would look pretty darn good???
