BMW Refuses To Give M3 To Winner Of eBay Auction
The BMW location in Lincoln, Nebraska decided to boost their sales by putting one of their brand new M3’s up for auction on eBay. The listed price was $60,000 – which was pretty good for a BMW. Mr. Dooma350 was the lucky winner of the M3 and was able to get it for the listed price. The BMW dealership was hoping that the price would go up a considerable amount to help them make more of a profit – but it didn’t seem to work like that.
A man in California won the brand new M3 for the listed price of $60,000 – but now the dealer is backing out of the agreement and doesn’t want to give it up. It didn’t take long till after the auction had closed for the manager at the BMW location in Nebraska to call up the lucky winner and tell him that the auction was “a mistake”.
Fortuantely for winner – Dooma350 – eBay can prove that the company was very much aware of the auction because they had changed the ‘Buy It Now’ price twice. This means that they need to abide by the contract and rules of eBay that state that they need to pay up to the winner. We hope he gets what he paid for.
