[AMC-list] Fw: nice 74 amc hornet spoortabout in auction no reserve sold

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Hornet sold for drum roll please....$1600. Owner's words:

"Since I've never sold a car in a car auction before, I asked the ladies in 
their office for their advice on whether to have a reserve on my car.  They 
suggested "no reserve". I was told more people would bid on it, so that's 
what I went with.

Out of the 175 cars sold that day (Sunday) only 5 cars had no reserve on 
them.  That made me pretty nervous.  It turns out for good reason.  One of 
the owner's of the car auction, Jason McCormack told me there were "likes" 
on my car's Facebook picture and he even got some calls on my car.  That 
sounds like some good news, so I began to feel better.  The bad news is the 
car sold for the high bid of $1600.00.

I was pretty upset.  Jason, who was next to me was very surprised and told 
me he really thought it would go for more.  I told the new owner he got a 
great deal.  I had owned my Sportabout for 15 years, fixing all the little 
things along the way.  It certainly wasn't anything close to perfect, but it 
was pretty nice.  I got a lot of nice comments before the auction.

That was that.  So now it's time to move on. "
