eBay Motors advice... hot chicks = page views

Here's some advice for those of you out there using eBay Motors or any other online classified or auction site to sell your classic GTO muscle car. Insert a hot chick in a bathing suit into the main image of the listing. In the original listing, smokymountaintraders got 16352 page views for a nice, ordinary 1967 Pontiac GTO hardtop. This is about 20 times the amount of attention this listing should receive. Will it work? Follow the re-listing to see if it does the second time around. Apparently, the first time around $22,900 wasn't enough for the 67 goat.

The Monkees were groovy and had the wheels to prove it... a custom 1967 Pontiac GTO. Well, here's your chance to cruise around town and pick up chicks in your very own Monkeemobile.
