I was seduced by the dmcseller with this item, I bid 50.00 at the last minute, only to see it skyrocket to almost $1000.00!!!!
I get it, its a cool piece of Delorean history, but a grand cool?

That's a heck of a jump. Even with buyer with a history what are the odds it'll be back in a week or less?

Yes. Some of us following the sales for the past year or more have been astounded at the sums. Documents from A list celebs, icons of americana themselves, don't command as much as many of these items.

I would guess that someone spending a grand on a report, isn't just going to turn around and give it away for free. Possible donation to the DeLorean Museum ?

No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"
That whole bid history looks fishy to me. Your bid was $52, then the next bid was 4x at $200? The next bidder could've bid $75, not $200. Then the next bid jumps to $300, the $500. Odd.

They probably bid on their own items.

Damn you ebay Boosters!! Damn you all to hell.. lol In all seriousness, that is likely the perfidious game they played to achieve such a high profit and more 'original' copies are likely to show up soon.. My two cents..

I don't know about that. I do wonder about someones willingness to pay between $40 and $1,000 for every scrap of paper when there is an unknown quantity of the stuff out there. Like the singer Curtis Mayfield: after he was paralyzed, he handed out old cancelled checks in place of autographs because he had so many of them.
