83FC + Ebay = $50,100

[worktohobby]

Hi all,

Unless the bidding rules for vehicles are different than regular
auctions, ending the action early means nothing as far as a sale
goes. You still have to pay your insertion fee to list the item in
the first place, but the item did not sell as far as ebay is
concerned, so you don't pay those fees based on final sale price.

Who knows what realy happend. The trick is to get the buyer to hand
over the funds after he/she looks at the bus in person.
