[DML] Re: eLectric DeLorean for Sale!

["J" <delorean3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

And *I'm* naive?  You need to wake up man.  As I stated in my 
original post, this guy doted all over his car in every interview 
I've seen him in.  Then all of a sudden he's selling it with no 
explanation as to why?  That doesn't seem to be the least bit strange 
to you?  You know people DO sell cars on ebay for reasons other than 
needing money (ie the car is impractical; the car has something 
majorly wrong with it; they just want to unload the thing before it 
gets too expensive to fix; etc etc) so yeah I find it a little odd 
that there isn't a reason up front.  Especially considering that the 
rest of the auction isn't very detailed then I'm inclined to be a 
little suspicious. I'm not trying to bash him (or you) for it, just 
responding with my honest opinion so take it for what it is worth.
