Ok, I'd think that someone who knew enough about Aurora slots to bid so much on this car would also know that the original Aurora car was not a model of a four wheel drive vehicle. Someone is going to be pissed.

Seriously, the Can-Am cars are among my most favorite. I could never bring myself to pony up for an original and I was really stoked that AutoWorld was re-popping them. I was crushed when this monstrosity showed up in all its monster truck glory.

True that Twoff... If these guys are bidding this kinda money.... that's a freakin shame. Perhaps it's a case of shill bidding too?... Not sure. The description is only somewhat correct and it's worded in such a way as to be just that... only somewhat correct. Now tell me, if you were truly a legit ebay seller why not describe it as follows?....

What would be so wrong with this? Just another reason for me to not buy off of ebay. nd

I bought the same car from Buds Ho Cars for $10.00. Mine didn't come with those fancy red wheels, though. Maybe that's the price difference!:rolleyes:

A good reason to do your homework, practice literacy, and avoid auctions with crappy pics. No matter how far ya step back or crank up the camera's anti turd filter there's no mistaking that heap.

We have all seen sly fleabay personnel, but this auction is a downright lie. I hope the seller gets a negative and the buyer gets a full refund, Oh, and if epays new rules are in effect, the seller cannot leave negative to the buyer .

I checked his feedback and most of his cars go for modest prices. There were a few rare cars that sold for higher prices.
