"showroom condition"?

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would say this is the poster child for how NOT to sell a car on eBay.  The
fact that it is a convertible is not even mentioned in the ad header, the
condition is way overstated, the starting bid is probably more than the
ending bid should be, and the car wasn't even carefully cleaned up.   The
obvious visual problems are so many that it is funny, yet the seller rates
EVERYTHING as "5 STAR" condition, and the car is not a "Classic".  If this
car sells, I'll be amazed!
