  Yeah, I saw that on eBay's home page. I could care less about the pope's car, it is ridiculous to me that people are willing to pay $200,000+ for it.

  What a crock....in the auction they claim that the car is being sold for Proceeds from this auction will benefit Habitat for Humanity Great Britain, building hope all over the world. But in the bad scan and small print for the auction letter to Habitat for Humanity it claims "Please accept this letter as confirmation that Habitat for Humanity Great Britain has benn nominated by Golden Palace.com to receive 40 per cent of the final amount received for the following ebay sale."
  
  NOWHERE did the auction state that the seller would be keeping 60% of the sale of the car...what a crock of sheite.... scammers everywhere!!!!

  And nowhere in the auction does it say that ALL of the proceeds would be going to Habitat for Humanity either. It says that proceeds will be going to them not the ALL of them will. So if 40% go to them that satisfies the terms of the auction. And so far the auction is bringing some $50,000 less than what they originally paid for the car.

  I remember when this car sold about a year or so ago. It must have been GoldenPalace that bought it then. I'll have to side with eyoung on this one. They should have said "A portion of the proceeds..." They way it is worded most will logically assume that all of the proceeds will go to HFH.
