E-bay airplanes

Ebay motor bids are non binding bids. unless that is just for autos and real
estate? but I believe it is for aircraft also.

Certain eBay auctions involve non-binding bids, for example, certain real
estate auctions. Non-binding bidding does not culminate in a contract
between the seller and the buyer. However, even though non-binding bids do
not contractually obligate the parties, non-binding bids represent a serious
expression of interest and bogus bidding is prohibited.

How stupid would you have to be to buy an airplane sight-unseen at Ebay
motors? Just marginally stupid or something close to incredibly stupid?

My understanding is that eBay purchases of aircraft are contingent on both
parties accepting a pre-purchase inspection. I'm sure there is the usual
price negotiations about who pays for what on the stuff that shows up in
the pre-purchase inspection.

Any real estate. Real estate must be purchased using a written
contract, ebay is not a written contract. A verbal contract may be used
but it is not enforceable.
