East German Trabant on eBay

Update on the Yugo: since yesterday, the seller removed that deal-breaking 3500-dollar starting bid, so the Yugo convertible is now a NO RESERVE auction with 7 bids, currently at $405—now that’s more like it! However, the now priced-to-move Yugo isn’t the only Eastern-bloc oddity that’s surfaced on eBay in recent days. The seller of this Trabant apparently hasn’t learned by the Yugo’s example, and has a reserve price probably set somewhere in the stratsopshere. It’s too bad, because I’ve always wanted one of these Duroplast-bodied, two-stroke beauties, and would be more than happy to show up with $405 cash and a tow dolly to take it off his hands.
