Default JK rip off on Ebay

I found this on Ebay and thought it was funny. The one picture is cut off, so I can't tell for sure, but it looks like it is a 2WD, plus it is titled as a used car. I can't beleive how much they are trying to sell it for. I really hope no one is stupid enough to pay that kind of money for this. For the same amount, you can order a Rubicon with lots of bells and whistles. This thing has to be marked up at least $5,000, if not more. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-4-...QQcmdZViewItem

Comical! It is a 2WD. No trail rated emblem and no stick for the 4WD. WTF is this guy thinking?

Lighten up guys. They’re “broardening” their ebay sales and want you to profit from their expansion.

Don't miss out on this one!!!

Default HaHa!

That is the dealership I bought my 97 TJ from back in 1996. Don't know what they are thinking. For a moment I must say I was nearly convinced when they told me that as I was wasting my time reading the add someone else was using the Buy it NOW! feature. Almost made me try to out bid them... then I realized that no one had bid and I was safe from the temptation for now. Wheew. I will just keep my current order for the Red Rock Rubicon for cheaper than they are asking.

Let's all help them out by asking if they are serious... I just sent the seller an email asking that.

Maybe they will appreciate getting a bunch of emails...

ROFL
This is not a joke $31500.00 buys it, first smart ebay buyer gets it.

That is not that much "less" than MSRP on a fully loaded Rubicon with dual tops, airbags, power, etc.

Even the starting "bid" is laughable, $25k. Hell, my inventory search of dealers 500 miles near me could find many a Sahara in that general price range, or a little more.

Well, I got a response to the email I sent him. He stated,
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? IM SURE THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT MAKES A PROFIT. DOES YOUR FAMILY HAVE TO EAT? I KNOW THAT MINE DOES. I AM TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING JUST LIKE THE NEXT GUY. AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU KEEP YOUR SORRY OPINIONS TO YOURSELF!
I elected not to waste time with a reply.

I email him asking if he was serious... his reply was "What would you pay?"

I didn't bother to tell him I already have my Rubicon and I paid only a little more than his starting price!
