Man buys brand new Camaro SS for $5
Reported on Camaro5 HOMEPAGE.
Not sure if posted before or not, its on the front page of CNN.com right now. Dude got lucky, these sites are pretty scammy to the untrained bidder. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/...nem?&hpt=hp_c2 http://www.wnem.com/story/15062471/f...camaro-for-528 Quote:

I'm pretty sure he still has to pay tax on the purchase of the car at market value.

The story indicated that that was his his first time bidding. Also that bids cost $0.60 and there could be 85 bids on a given auction. Buyer beware...

It's a marketing gimmick to get idiots like CNN to give the auction website free publicity, like ebay back in the day. Nevertheless, lucky guy. I doubt there will be any more deals like that again.

But, beware these sites are not very easy to win at, don't expect to win a car for $5, he's probably the only guy who's done it and i wouldn't be surprised if he is part of that business just trying to advertise it or they paid him to do so. |
