Ortiz's Car Gets bid over $465K on Ebay

For some reason, I'm reminded of Cabbage Patch dolls and Beanie Babies.

I suppose that a $465,000 car with a celebrity history could bring someone considerable ego-comfort--but that someone is not me.

Who is Big Papi?

slugger extraordinaire for the Bahstin Red Sawx

Big Papi? Everyone knows big Papi! My daughter even has an I love Big Papi shirt!

Where's the $400K bid? It was probably someone screwing around. Anyone that pays ANY premium for that car because he's a celebrity is a moron. Won't affect the value at all.

Sweet car though....

Manny tried selling his penthouse condo at the Ritz Carlton, nobody bought that. And I don't think it was priced extra high because it was Manny's(but not sure).

Here's the link, or just search "ortiz" on ebay motors:

When I was on ebay, I went in to try and apply for, as the ad said low monthly payments, a loan for the car. Just to see how low the monthly payments would be - unfortunately once they began asking me personal information to just find out the low monthly payments I decided to bag it.

Reading through the auction it says you need to be pre-approved before even making a bid. Probably to keep bozos from bidding up the price.

$170K at 6.5% for 72 months is about $2,800 per month.

You can swing it....buy it. Then let me borrow it.

Maybe I could buy it, charge it to my husband's business and help get the business into bankrupcy.

Funny I was talking to my husband about the car and he began answering me seriously like you don't want that car - it would be a magnet for speeding tickets - like I'd really try to buy it.

And my chances of buying is only slightly higher than your chances of borrowing of it, if I were to buy it.

Ah. I am enlightened. Big Papi plays ball.
