Australia's highest profile GT on eBay

[GTP 200]

Today is a very sad day.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....tem=4529189772

We need funds to finish off the next movie.

Filming has now finished, so some lucky owner will take my pride and joy, it will be their turn to have some fun.

I've had so much enjoyment from this car, its the best I've ever owned by far.

I wonder what will replace it?

Auction ends Feb 25th.

[AUIII XR8 MAN]

Sorry to hear that, hope you get a good price. Nothing can replace her. You will always look back & wish you still had her. Good luck with auction.

[MrSparkle]

Definitely one of the best examples getting around, that is for sure. A MkII on the cards mate? (after the movie is done and paid for that is)

[Psycho Chicken]

And here I was thinking Biill Bourke's XY or a Phase 4 was up for grabs.

Hopefully it's only a short term thing.

Thanks XR8 Man

I know what you mean, after flicking through hundreds of photos and coming to terms with the sale, Im looking around the house to see if I can sell anything else instead.

Thanks Psycho Chicken

I've seen that XY of Bill's and it is a diamond!!!! I should have said 'BA GT'.

I've asked the future owner that I get the first offer to buy the car back, I just hope they dont smash it.

Stupid money.

DONT SAY THAT!!!! (it makes it even more hard for me)

I'm working around the clock to make sure this next movie is a corka, so hopfully I can get a good replacement.

I thought selling my house to pay for the last movie was a tuff choice . . . .

[Peuty]

Is the movie really worth losing your pride and joy.

In this users opinion- Hardly.

[Pearly]

Sad news indeed Cam!!

...but I wish you the best in the sale, and here's to bigger and better! :

I for one can say I'm very privileged to have driven it! :eclipsee_ ::sm_headba

[Smoke Pursuit]

That sucks, although i got a stack of enjoyment out of your last movie, hopefully you get the next one finished soon and on the shelf!

[Charliewool]

It HURTS like hell Cam... (I know)..... Good luck with your future ventures...

[GTP 320]

The red beast will be missed and all the fun we had together on cruise's and in the film.
Cheers John

[SpoolMan]

Hi Cam, if you want more exposure try www.carsales.com.au they tell me it costs $5 to advertise your car there...
good luck with your sale, any hint's on the reserve?

[lv619]

Woah, thats a shame mate, I hope you get what you want for the car (whats the reserve by the way) and all goes good for your movie making venture.

good luck.

[GTP 320]

I believe that Cam's GTP will be on display at Geelong this Sunday on the Herrod stand.
Cheers John

[SpoolMan]

John see you Sunday.

Time left: 6 days 15 hours

Current bid: AU $24,600.00 (Reserve not met)

So it might get up there. Reserve would have to be at least $50k, surely?!

I had a couple of bids and managed to bump it up to:
Time left: 6 days 15 hours
History: 19 bids
Current bid: AU $28,750.00 (Reserve not met)

Can I ask why you are selling such a high profile car on ebay? At auction?

Auctions are a terrible way to sell something so valuable. An auction just guarentees you will get the second best price. Once all the bidding stops, the winner is the person who pays the next step up in bids. How much more would he have paid?

You really should be advertising this car everywhere, clubs, carsales.com, amcs etc, with a price quoting offers above $50,000 or whatever.

Then as you get people looking at it and wanting to make an offer. You ask them to disclose their best offer in writing. But before they put the offer down you tell them that rather than haggle with everyone you are asking they put down their best offer and if this isn't accepted you do not need to contact them to let them know, or give them the chance to counter offer. This goes a long way to getting people to make their best offer straight off, not make low offers and bugger around doing haggling and playing games. And it also ensures you get the best price someone will pay for your car as if they really want the car they will make the best offer they can aford for it. As will all others who want it, you just accept the best one.

Auctions destroy value.

[GTP 200]

Thanks for all your support guys.

I have a feeling the next 6 days are going to be very long.

Thanks for your advice Black XR6, you sound like you have 'been there . . done that'. If the reserve is not met, I'll look at those options for sure.

[rag top]

Just had a look - there is some dude called "laminge" who is the top bidder atm... :

[XRQTOR]

Would i sell my car to make a movie, only if it starred Britany spears and anna kornikova and was ratedd XXX and i was the only bloke in it.

It's a shame to see a car go esp under the circumstances. Im considering selling mine atm so i can get the funds needed to start my own business, tired of working 6o hours a week for not much gain. I bet the missus wasn't real impressed when she found out you sold the house.

[galaxy xr8]

A sad day indeed it will be Cam, all the best for the sale, I'd love to be able to help you out with the sale, I just hope who ever take's ownership of your beast look's after her.
