 When I sold the 88 5kcstq, I could have started a bidding war.  My opinion:

There is a man in the Porsche club who bought one of the 4 or 5 original 968 
Turbo cup cars from a man overseas.  The car was offered at 48K (a steal for 
a documented, factory race car.  It is also the only one with the factory 
roll cage.).  He bought the car, sight unseen, on the spot (since it would 
have still been a good deal, even if it was completly destroyed.)  The next 
day, an unknown source called and offered the old owner over twice the sum - 
around 100,000$.  

The owner kept the original contract, although it would have been easy to 
back out.

Learn life's lessons through the acts of others - that's why I only watch the 
guys at the Porsche schools crash instead of crashing with them.

Later!
