[V8] '93 V8 Quattro on eBay

[Ron Wainwright]

Roger, I as well got the same chain message from Bill.
As you noted I did sense him being more calm &
reserved about the auction.
I as well told him he may get a better price for the
car..cause I as well suspect that that car is worth
more than the buy it now price!..but I told him he may
get the best exposure by listing the car on Audifans
marketplace.
 I did wish him luck & left it at that.
