then again

I think I'm getting a cold after all. The snot machine is on, and my ears feel pressurized. Better now than two weeks ago, I guess.

I've put the Buick on Ebay. My previous buyer has slipped off the face of the Earth. I am prepared to take a massive loss here -- I just want it out of the driveway.

so are you selling it because it's a money pit? I didn't realize that you already did all this work to it. Wanna build a Rover V8-powered MGB-GT? ;-)

I'm selling it because I realized, too late, that it was going to cost a stupid amount of money (above the excessive amount I already blew) to bring it up to satisfactory condition for my purposes. If I want to end up with a really nice car, I'm going to have to start with something more decent.

The Car for Awesome will exist, but not yet.

Yeah it's definitely best to start off with something you don't have to do much to to bring it up to "normal" standards. Of course, that's not the case with my MG, but then again, I'm not working on it anytime soon either...

you need to edit your listing. you've listed the terms of sale twice.

Did it on purpose. I had included all that in the body of the description, then saw that the web form had dedicated fields for it. People frequently ask me questions about items that are already answered in the description, so I figured I'd repeat the TOS and all that, just by pasting it into relevant sections of the web form.
