I'd imagine the current owner would love to have this. Or the free pictures anyway..

Do you really think he wants $5k for it or is he just pricing it out of reach for the clone makers? He might be hoping the real owner contacts him. Just trying to give someone the benefit of the doubt...

He states he is looking for the current owner. Pretty cool and it should add value. I'm sure some kind of deal can be made.

If you read it (I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt) it looks like he is using ebay to track the current owner down (and not just anyone with casual or nepharious sp? interest). Hopefully he will do so and ask only a nominal fee to reunite the POP with the current owner.

I hate the idea of purchasing documentation from prior owners - the principle makes me sick... documentation held hostage from the car purely for $. Being said, I have paid for the original documentation in two different instances for two different of my cars. It is a part of the hobby. I hope seller/buyer here can come to a price point that unites the paper with the car!

I look at it like an original part of the car - if it was the original BE rear for 10k I'd buy it. Same with paper - it's just another part. Just because it's made of paper (or small metal) doesn't make it worthless.

He is not a prior owner of the car. It was with paperwork for another car that he owned.

Pardon... I'm in Europe on business and did not have a moment to read the full eBay ad. I gather the seller is trying to reunited the POP with the car but being said, what's stopping someone who doesn't own the car from clicking the BIN? I commend his effort but the price would not preclude outsiders from being interested in it?
