as you haven't read the original thread, let me give you the spark notes version.....

He won the car for cheap.
News station wouldn't help.
Ebay wouldn't help.
Local wouldn't help.
Internet wouldn't help
(still worth trying all these avenues).

What DID help was getting a lawyer (it all becomes a money thing to you in the end, is it worth the cost of the lawyer? it was for the m3). What was ruled was that ebay auctions were still contracts, and they were still contractually obligated to sell you that car for that price (barring of course that it was ACTUALLY sold for 26k before auction end.... which they'd have to prove (keeping in mind that story might be true)).
What happened in the m3 case is it hadn't been sold, and they took it to court, and were awarded the car.
