Both are getting slightly rediculous

Could this white one actually sell?

Current top Bidder - y***m( 3713) AU $11,600.00

That bid seems legit almost

Yeah it will sell, but with 3713 feedback, I wonder if it's a company?

If you're bidding 10k sight unseen, you're going to have a bad day.

HAHAHA

I could understand a 1k car but not something like this

C210 on eBay

1978 Datsun Skyline | eBay

News just in. Apparently Kuwait has banned the importation of second hand cars (including half cuts) built after 1973.

I can't find any news articles to support this, but heard a local exporter of 240K to the middle east bemoaning the loss of his side business.

Although there is a fan base in other gulf states, and plenty of local enthusiasts (including Arabs) living in Australia, you may see the outrageous purchase prices settle down some.

Or looking at ebay this week, maybe not!

im sure if they pay the right people they will get stuff thorugh

In 2012 prices jump to $ 27,000 cheaper price 240k in Australia earlier now no room for to find a 240K cheap is mad Gulf states. Continuous export to the UAE

Remove Aussie compliance plate - problem solved. No build dates on these cars anywhere else.

$27,000. So that's what they are currently fetching over there? $11k for that white one seems like a bargain then.

There's quite a bit to it though. All Australian imports go via the UAE. To get a car registered in Kuwait it has to be LHD. This means getting the car registered in the UAE as a right hand drive first, completing the steering conversion, then driving across the boarder to reregister and sell for the big bucks in Kuwait. Surely this creates a paper trail, and eats into the profit margins when selling an 11K Australian K.

Uras1 is probably right though, where there is strong market demand for something, illicit or no, there's a way. Look at drugs, for example.
