It's a shame for the sellers that higher prices weren't realised. As far as the performance/price equation being reflected in the relatively low prices I think that would evaporate if these cars were sold in the traditional 'classified ad' way. Ebay is great for shifting unwanted items to a wider audience but if interested parties actually drove the car before making an offer then the character would far outshine the lack of performance when compared to a bike engined seven. And don't forget that the build cost isn't in five figures like most kit cars so I expect both cars at least broke even. And finally, I doubt anyone actually sets out to build one of these in order to sell it for a profit, but sometimes people's circumstances change and their hands are forced. I'll be hocking my soul to Il Diablo before I give mine up though...
