almost 10million bucks?!?! not even from the original series.

I don't mean to be the master of the obvious here, but there is a huge difference between "The Auction has Ended" and "Sold."
I'll say "Wow" after the cash has changed hands...

The car that was used in the series and had the trunk filled with cement to keep it from nosediving in the show jumps went for around 50,000 or so on ebay last year if memory serves me. Maybe that guy should ask 20M for his. This auction has been on msn and all the major tv stations as beating out the highest sale ever on ebay that record had been 4.5M for a jet. It was even posted that ebay suggested to John Schneider to approve all his bidders first so there wont be any games. With this big of a story ebay doesnt want the press to get ahold of a high dollar auction shenanigans if it ends up being a non sale.

The winning bidders name was also posted in the news. Wonder if he is a little upset about that because your name is supposed to be private as well as your bids on items over 200.00. Maybe one of the bidders was from the media so they could see the winners user id at the end ?

Ordinarily, a production-used General Lee would be worth about $150,000 to $200,000, said McKeel Hagerty, president of Hagerty Insurance, a collector car insurance company. The opportunity to buy the car from "Bo Duke" himself would add some value, he said.

I think someone had their ebay acct hijacked.

Absolute and total B.S.

I don't care how much money someone (or some company) has or how stupid they may be, there is no possible way anyone would pay that kind of money for a hacked up non R/T Charger, "Bo Duke" owned or not.

As a long time eBay seller with a 10,000+ feedback rating, I find this disgusting and there is nobody to blame but eBay.

Anyone who knows or has done any business with Mr. Schnieder knows he is quite the master of marketing and it appears that he, along with eBay has scored again.

You simply can't buy the kind of publicity this "bid" is generating.

BTW; did anyone happen to look at what the winning bidder has been buying and selling on eBay over the last year or so?

As always, just my "humble opinion" for whatever that is worth!

just curious as to whether your opinion changes if Schneider uses all the $ in the next installment of the Dukes of Hazzard movies?

Look under the feedback for the buyer, John gave a Negative saying this is the guy who bid the Genral Lee for fun thanks ! Looks like it was all BS or He was Hijacked

Youre kidding me,it didnt sell?? How shocking. John should send a second chance offer to the second high bidder at 9,900,400.00 im sure hes ready to back up his high bid and wants the car. At least Schneider got some publicity hes needing for his new movie for a 40.00 ebay listing fee...I dont think the car should go to Nigeria anyway, its such an american icon.

He has a list of negatives for feedback.
