That totally sucks! Why bid in the first place if you really aren't going to follow through. it's like ripping your money into useless pieces! Hopefully the next bidder in line will take it as it really is a very nice vehicle. But I guess when dealing with this kind of business model, some flakes are going to fall through the cracks. Just another hassle to go through in a process that really sems to take too long and is too complicated. Hopefully going forward, all your ducks will fall into place and you'll be selling as many vehicles as you can get your hands on...all for a decent profit to!

I imagine your wife declaring “over my dead body”! Would take some of the desire out of you.

A few years ago on another board we were discussing the private sale of a new Ducati that had just 22 miles on it. The guy selling it lived approximately 22 miles from the Duc dealer so the consensus was that the guy bought it, rode it home, wife saw it, and it was game over.

In contrast, a hand-wringing bed wetter asked my wife why she wasn't concerned/worried when I bought my Triumph S3 and she told that person that if her husband was going to have a mid-life crisis affair she would prefer it be with something with two wheels as opposed to two legs.

That's our common response to others when speaking of our car addiction/habit. This being our second marriage (now going on 12 years I will say), my wife and I often point out that trading out cars is way better (and cheaper) than trading out spouses.
