found this while looking on eBay this morning:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

Just thought I would let you guys know, the guy I bought my car from said he found what he thinks is a boot cover in his barn. If it is he said I could have it. I have already bought a replacement one so I will be putting that one up for sale if it turns out to be a boot cover. Should find out in the next few days but I will be going to the beach for the whole week after Easter so I will let you all know once I get back.

Ok this really sucks. I have been watching this auction from the start, I am the one who has put a bid up for it. I was really hoping not to see it mentioned here as I have been looking for a long time for one and did not want to have to fight for it. I thought I was in the clear, then with 9hours to go in auction, boom...it gets advertised...I delayed starting a new job until tomorrow to monitor this...I really hope this ends well for me.

Damn, I was just about to call dibs. We shall settle this on the eBay Battlegrounds!

(but I'm a real cheapo, soon as that thing tops 50 I'm out of there)

Welcome to free market capitalism!

What's it worth to ya?

I bought my boot in good condtion (missing one snap) for $175 ($235 including shipping). I think that I got a good--not great, but good--deal.

This was after I saw a PRISTINE boot for over $450 a month or so before.

I hope it turns out well for all of you.

Whoever buys this, leave it under the sun a couple of hours, and it should come back to its original shape. Good luck!!

I saw this auction a couple days ago as well, and have been watching it.

I had planned to bid on it, but only if I could steal it (under $100). I've already got one.. so I figured I'd hold onto it for another person on the forum in the future.

It's already over $100... I predict it will end around $225 or so. I would say higher, but it's really not in the best condition.. it's fairly wrinkled and creased.

Sorry Torso.. These silly boots are like gold around here.. it was only a matter of time before someone mentioned it. I hope you win it!!! I'd try to discourage others from bidding on it, but it's a free market unfortunately so there's nothing that can be done.

Good luck buddy!

yeah... i just saw it... sorry about your luck torso. i'm not in the running for this. like i said before. if someone on nico was bidding, i'd not take it. looks like you've been exploited by the free market and free information.

good luck to you.

Yep, I was surprised obviously as well at how much it went for. I wonder if that was due to the visibility it was given here..who knows. Regardless, I am sure the person who got it has been looking for one for a while just as me, so I am glad his/her's search is at least over. Hopefully I will be lucky one day and find someone willing to sell me one

I bought it. I'm also going to buy all other boots on Ebay, craigslist, and any Nissan forum. I'm going to corner the market and then sell them off one by one.

Looks like someone is planning a little show vehicle of some kind perhaps. LCD rear view mirror, 7 inch LCD's, shakers..alot of ICE basically..also lots of cosmetic bolt on stuff. Though I am most interested in seeing how the rainbow neon lighting is deployed....yes..very interested. And of course..last but not least....how literally boxloads and boxloads of stripper clothes fit into the picture.

Intrigued

Well I guess project fiberglass vert boot is going to start. I NEVER thought that would go that high. Me and my boys can make one for about $50, and it will be custom!!!!

WOW...$360 for that boot. Well, grats to Ish on the new boot. I do have an extra boot that I'm putting up for sale. It's a bit dusty but after I get back from my beach vacation next week I'll clean it up, post pics and put it up for sale. I'd love to get that kind of money for it but I'm just looking to recoup what I spent to buy one when I didn't have one. I will give details after I get back (April 15th). Until then...Happy Easter everyone. Have a safe and fun holiday.

I was just being optimistic! Don't think this doesn't get you out of pics of that stripper gf though.
