Baldwin Car For Sale

[SuperCars]

Motown, well said. My comments weren't against callers that called AFTER Dustin posted the second time that the car was still for sale. If everyone re-reads my post, I was referencing callers that were calling PRIOR to his second post saying he's still taking offers. You can almost understand Dustin's plight if someone is calling previously and telling him that the car is worth $30-50,000; even hough it is an undocumented car and needing about $50,000 to 60,000 restoration on it.

So I am clarifying and I am repeating again, I don't have any problem with the guys that called after Dustin re-posted it's still for sale and taking offers. It's the guys calling him beforehand that caused all the trouble.

I don't see anyone commenting about the "COPO for $500 thread". I wish my deal was that good. I've assumed the risk on this car as it is still undocumented. Dustin was not willing to send Joel $1,500.

Nah...I don't think it's "bash Kevin week". I think it's more like your Friday evening post actually invited the innocent folks [that had dropped a quarter] to defend themselves. They [Charley, Jude, et al.] were likely thinking: "hmmm...I DID call about the car, but I DID NOT try to interfere with Kevin's deal." Accordingy, nobody likes to be called names, so they professed their innocence out in the sunshine by posting on the forum. If the roles were reversed, I expect you'd announce your no-fault version too.

You moved quickly Kevin, and you got the car...but don't expect a round of applause from the 2nd place losers. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

Yeah, Steve maybe you're right. If the guys that called after Dustins post saying "still taking offers' feel the need to stick up for themselves, that's fair. But they should have payed more attention that I am only upset with the earlier bunch that called Dustin after I posted I bought the car. If having a agreement both verbally and a written purchase agreement doesn't mean someone has bought a car, what the heck does? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Well I'm sure there are readers of this thread sitting back and eating popcorn just enjoying the show. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] I guess I got to keep a sense of humour because this whole thing is ridiculous.

This all goes with the territory. When you have a limited amount of collectable cars with a lot of collectors, ruthlessness will rear it's head. No different then the world of rare art, Gems, Coins, etc. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. We must keep in sight that no material item or collectable is worth enough to sacrifice honor over, a thousand rightous transactions will never be remembered over the one unethical transaction. Never allow any deal to be controlled by emotion, clear thought will prevail over emotion every time. The prisons are full of people who acted on emotion with a crime of passion that most would not have commited utilizing clear thought. To a lesser degree this hobby has the elements necessary to go either way, calm or chaos. One rare car that is found and made known to the collector world could be compared to a Monday morning sale table surrounded by women at your local discount store. Cooler heads must prevail.

Supercars, I can understand you being upset after hearing your explanation, but I can also understand someone calling after YOU posted that the car was sold. I have no interest in this car and did not call. However, if it was a '67 Z-28 I would have called just to make sure the deal went through and perhaps to put my name on a waiting list should it go sour. Now, if Justin told me that you and he had a deal, I would never have told him I would offer more or that he sold too cheaply - that's dirty pool. If it were JUSTIN that posted that the car was sold, I would not have called after the fact. Just trying to help you see how others may have seen the situation. IMHO, if you knew who tried to undermine your deal, you should have went to them directly rather than name calling the masses here. At the end of the day, you've got the car...enjoy it!

Ed, I'm startin' to think you have an obsession with pics [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'd be a little nervous if I was one of your old girlfriends [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Zedder, I wasn't name calling the masses. I couldn't contact individuals direct as Dustin wouldn't say who the callers were. I made a general announcement because I couldn't identify anyone, and knew the guilty parties would know what they did. It appears now the callers are speaking out to defend themselves, perhaps some feel guilty for having interferred with my deal.

Why would any member of this board question the fact that I bought the car. I would've thought they know me as a serious collector that doesn't make statements lightly. Oh well, I've said enough for now unless I have to come back and defend my position some more, but prefer to just let it go. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] Not THOSE kind of pics [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] Just like to see the supercars I haven't seen before. ESPECIALLY the Motion stuff. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] I figure this is about as close as I'll ever get to having one of my own. I just don't make Supercar kind of money. So I gotta get my enjoyment and be part of the hobby in the ways I can afford. Collecting pictures and model cars and stuff like that.
