JOHN "BO DUKE" SCHNEIDER CLASHES WITH EBAY


Actor John Schneider indicated Wednesday that he intends to take the more conventional route of selling his General Lee car, used in the Dukes of Hazzard TV series, through a reputable automobile auctioneer.  His decision came after a buyer of the vehicle, who bid nearly $10 million for it on eBay, appeared to renege on the deal and eBay accused Schneider of not accepting its advice to employ a third party to pre-approve bidders. In a statement, Schneider said, "When eBay decided to put my auction on their home page, it became their auction." Schneider noted that at one point the bidding had reached $6 million but that eBay had later scaled it back to $2 million. That figure, he said, "must have come from somewhere." Implying that he may take legal action not only against the reneging buyer but also against eBay, Schneider said, "When a multi-billion dollar company takes ownership of an event, in this case an auction, I believe they take responsibility for the outcome." 10/05/2007

WTF? I saw him on TV talking about that.

Good for John.
We NEED people who have the "mike" to say what IT is and get the word out.

Oh wait.. the regular Jane's, John's and Joe's are already doing that.

I feel as though we have not heard the last of this.
Original listing

There are tonnes of articles, and from what I see, John Schneider is upset, and he has a pair.

John Schneider: Put Up or Shut Up!!


Check that out, then see his feedback left for the deadbeat.

I am waiting to see whether the deadbeat hoaxer, who already changed ebaY ID, retaliates with a neg.

I feel the inkling a new video coming on.

General Lee Back on the Auction Block
Associated Press 05.18.07, 12:29 PM ET

After a nearly $10 million bid for a car made famous by "The Dukes of Hazzard" fell through, John Schneider learned his lesson: Sell only to pre-screened bidders.

Schneider, who played blond heartthrob Bo Duke in the '80s TV series, said the winner's account on the eBay (nasdaq: EBAY - news - people ) auction Web site was hacked as a joke, so he wasn't the one bringing up the bid for a version of the iconic 1969 Dodge Charger. The online auction was held earlier this month.

In a new eBay Inc. auction set to begin Saturday, the orange coupe with "01" on the doors will be listed to bidders who must prove upfront that they can pay, the 47-year-old actor told AP Radio News.

"No one will be able to bid unless they've gone through pre-qualification," he said. "They have to jump through several hoops, and their bank actually winds up being the ones that will be listed as the bidder, not the individual."

Although the car wasn't featured in the original "Dukes" show, it carries the signatures of cast members.

"Somebody's gonna wind up with this car, and if anything, the car's more famous than it was before," Schneider said.

"The Dukes of Hazzard" aired from 1979 to 1985.

Awwww... too bad.... no sale.

read the comments at the story below.

General Lee (Not Quite) Going Going Gone


Perhaps the General Lee has a mind of its own, like KITT from "Knight Rider." Perhaps the car doesn't want to leave John Schneider's side. However you make your grits, it's the never-ending car auction!

According to Schneider's rep, there was some glitch with the second refried auction and it had to be re-listed. So here it is y'all, what promises to be your last chance at owning the General Lee ... with bidding starting at $100,000.

An earlier "sale" of the car on eBay was scrubbed when a $10 million dollar bidder didn't cough up the scratch.
