The only problem is that eBay isn't ready and they don't have it finalized. Looks like they spoke too soon, people pleasing maybe.

It's been reported a lot that there would be an "Ask Fritz" or "Tell Fritz" website ... well, it doesn't exist yet, so I went ahead and made a couple. Just launched www.askfritz.org (http://www.askfritz.org) this morning ... www.tellfritz.org (http://www.tellfritz.org) will come out later today or monday. :-)

I just think this is the first step of many to come of GM showing their desparation to move some cars out of the factory and into driveways.

Lots of the dealers have been doing it for years. The reserve price is usually something you can get at any dealer if you work on the sales staff a little.
