So, it appears that the common denominator for the “1% Theme Week” was the term “Did Not Sell.” I’m sure there’s something to be learned there…

Are the 1% really buying their cars used on ebay? I suspect if I was really among the 1%, I’d either have people scouting out cars for me and/or I’d be negotiating my deals off-ebay. Hard to imagine real 1%’ers hovering over the “bid now” button until the last few seconds to snipe the auction (although, they can probably be a competitive bunch). Perhaps these used exotics are more targeted at the “5%’ers”?

My car dealer friend only uses ebay as a marketing tool. He doesn’t even want to sell a car through ebay because of their fee structure. I would assume others do the same thing.
