Automobile Recession Hits The Ghostbusting Industry

Wondering what the going rate of a Ghostbustermobile is? Apparently higher than $45,000 – that was the highest bid, yet still below the reserve price, for a genuine Ecto-1 that failed to be sold on eBay recently.

According to the eBay seller, investments2001, the car used to be the property of Universal Studios:

This is the real Universal car not a copy. The car runs and drives good it has new tires on it know [sic]. The car is in a car Museum right now, when it goes on tour it draws a VERY VERY LARGE crowd.

Sadly, it drew a less impressive crowd – and even less impressive bids – on eBay. Despite 32 hopefuls, the car failed to meet its reserve and went unsold after the auction ended last night. We wish we knew what the reserve actually was… or that the seller had realized that the last Ecto-1 on eBay went for almost $20,000 less.
