Annoying words sellers use when advertising a car

So heres how it went... There are a group of us about 6-7 that buy sell trade amongst each other, my friend who made the initial call who we will say FOUND the car passed on the opportunity and told another in our group about the car. That person is not as close a friend as the one that made the call, those 2 are tight with each other. I show up the following weekend for some fun at some swap meet and the story is shared with all of us. The FIRST thing that pops into my head is that's FU.... up that was the consensus of all of us. So we all review what might be the right thing to do and it is mentioned that yes he passed on it but had his friend not been given the lead he would not have that car under his ownership. If someone benefits substantially from something that the minimum get you off the hook, would be to offer a percentage of said profits. So put in a different way... If you spend 20k on something that might be valued at 175- 200k at your friends dismay what is the right thing? Rumor has it he flipped my friend a 100.00 and said thanks man... Needless to say he is not welcome anymore :(

One of the most misused terms I have seen in recent history is "Survivor". Then they go on to tell you about the restoration......

I like the Nova ad.  The 'seen my car on Barrett JACKSON' is a daily occurrence.  The uneducated masses.
