I think this guys needs to learn "car restoration math". It goes something like this:

$3000 car + $7000 options + $5000 labor = $3500 car.

For 911s, the numbers can be a little higher, but the overall concept is the same.

If I read this guy right, he is trying to attract bidders at high numbers which he plans to use a 'proof' of the car's pre-total loss value.

Guess he's dreaming on both counts.
- Chris' 'car restoration math' is right on the money.
- The adjuster is going to take no notice of the eBay stuff. In fact, it will probably make him look at the car in less favorable terms.

Some guys just can't help it!

Not for an instant. Funny post, though.
