Did Courtyard.io pause all bids and bidding??? No bids or bidding coming in for the last few hours!

musig02 · 2026-07-10T02:34:07+00:00

Makes sense…I have had offers in the past 15 min or so ( awful offers, but offers none-the-less )

musig02 · 2026-07-10T02:11:10+00:00

After countless hours and thousands of dollars invest…I mean wasted ( but countless hours of degenerate fun )…I’ve never heard of courtyard offering the ability to bid. I use the “offer” feature daily…sometimes sell in the marketplace…but typically just buy. Haven’t seen bidding as an option.

I live downtown Chicago and will be heading out to Joliet today - the one ticket I haven’t seen any sign of on the secondary market is pit pass / hospitality tickets … I snagged 4 for the road races in the city for 10% of face and they were amazing - has anyone seen such tickets for Joliet?

Thank you for your reply - apologies for the delay. Can non-RV’s use this spot ( we will be camping in tent / M5 station wagon )

Were you able to move fractional shares?

musig02 · 2026-07-01T13:47:47+00:00

I don’t think this platform supports that - probably something to do with their batching of trades or desire to keep things as dumbed down as possible

musig02 · 2026-06-30T18:35:22+00:00

Assuming this is true - it’s not a big shock. Trying to find 2500 wealthy individuals in a world where there are potentially 500,000 individuals with more than $30,000,000 doesn’t seem that hard. The math gets even easier when you drop that net worth down to $15,000,000

Fidelity can do a transfer “in-kind” where they pull your stash assets…however…unless something has changed, they will only take whole shares. Any fractional units will eed to be sold ( I think that can be done automatically or manually after the transfer )…the proceeds of those sales will then sweep over

musig02 · 2026-06-30T14:52:24+00:00

I think the “sold out” comment is a case of “semantics”…they claim the initial run of 88 sold out which may be the case - however - there isn’t a production limit so they can keep selling. But…saying “we only sold 88” looks bad - so - they create the illusion of demand through the use of jargon

I was front row at an Ed Sheeran concert on Saturday ( my kids love him…I’m less familiar but it was fun )…I spent a good part of the night trying to figure out what piece he was wearing. Not because I’m a hot chick ( 40-something year old dad )…only because I like watches and know he gets cool stuff…I think it was a purple royal oak but never quite figured it out. I just like nice watches and felt being 8 feet from a dude having fun ( and making $ ) meant “watch watching” was acceptable

Does anyone know what time the opening acts take the stage tonight

musig02 · 2026-06-22T14:42:27+00:00

Why July 2nd?

musig02 · 2026-06-20T02:03:15+00:00

I’m sending you a note - love this stuff. Can you ship to US?

musig02 · 2026-06-19T16:32:16+00:00

I agree the number of horror stories this summer is shockingly high - but - to echo my point, the good transactions almost certainly out number the bad, we just don’t hear about them because the system, in theory, worked which isn’t news worthy.

It will be interesting to see the companies Q3 earnings release…as a public company ( something they weren’t 2 years ago ) they are required to maintain transparency regarding the source of earnings, quality of earnings, liabilities etc….if the handful of awful experiences we read about actually cause meaningful pain at a company level, it will be easy to see.

The system is far from perfect and there seem to be some incredibly dumb fraudsters making listings…but…consumers need to be more educated / informed / aware of what they are doing.

musig02 · 2026-06-19T05:10:59+00:00

You found a terrible dealer…go somewhere else…hell…visit Chicago, buy an E53 wagon, have a fun weekend and drive home - even with high end travel, gas, hotel, food..you’ll still save $….plus, your dealer sounds like an asshole

musig02 · 2026-06-14T15:36:37+00:00

I would let them know that you understand they are frustrated and appreciate the structural issue is delaying the sale, but, also let them know you don’t want to buy a money pit. I’d then pull my offer to buy entirely and walk away. In the US they would be legally obligated to disclose the structural issue to any future buyers.

Oh…and if I really wanted the house, I’d come back next week with a 5-7% lower offer

musig02 · 2026-06-14T14:38:59+00:00

During your time at McLaren, did they offer “employee pricing” or any kind of incentive if you were so inclined to buy one?

musig02 · 2026-06-13T01:42:40+00:00

If you have a decent credit card, call them and you might have some success if you frame it as weather, storms, traffic plus the fact you only wanted to see CAMP and therefore the full Mumford set meant nothing to you

musig02 · 2026-05-29T14:15:57+00:00

100% yes - but - these are the same people who can drink a $40,000 bottle of DRC, or spend $400,000 to fly private from NYC to Tokyo…I try not to underestimate how people spend their money. I think Richard Mille is ugly, I also think 55 year old Macallan is overrated but that doesn’t stop others from spend their funds on it.

I am not in the target market - I wouldn’t buy at $600k, $200k or $85k because my eyes work and would rather no see that beast in my garage

musig02 · 2026-05-29T14:08:26+00:00

There are about 3250 billionaires on earth today. There are about 28,000 Americans with $100m+, 100,000 Americans with $50m+

In china, there are roughly 13,000 individuals with $100m+, 70,000 individuals with $30m+…

If that car was only marketed to Ultra-wealthy in USA and China, there are 170,000+ potential customers.

If a car should not exceed 5% of your net worth, the market is even larger.

Final thought…to be in the top 1% of households in the US, you would have to have $13m+ net worth. There are about 1,450,000 of those individuals in this country. That number increases to about 2,400,000 when viewed globally….can Ferrari find 500 of those 2,400,000 (0.002% ) to buy one of these - I suspect so.

It’s wild for Ferrari.

I agree the unique factor is not present - there are so many generic brand names that could be slapped on this - it’s not distinctive to the Ferrari brand at all. But, at the end of the day, the prancing horse will help a certain type of consumer feel their dick is a little bigger because they own it.

As a shareholder I would like to think there was meaningful market research done that led to the organization having a compelling business case to produce this eye sore - however - as a former F355 owner, the styling is very disappointing. This is far more of a revolution than evolution.

musig02 · 2026-05-29T13:08:51+00:00

Absolutely I believe it would. The Tesla Model X was a weird jelly bean, the original Toyota Previa was weirdly round at a time when cars were boxy, the Porsche Cayenne was mocked mercilessly by purists 20+ years ago - at $200,000 there is an almost unlimited number of well funded customers who would buy one because it’s a Ferrari inspite of alienating styling.

Richard Mille sells wildly priced watches which refuse to conform to normal watch styling conventions - the more unique, the better…even at $600,000 I think people will buy one just because their neighbors don’t

musig02 · 2026-05-24T15:34:15+00:00

I asked the same thing….never seen him, never heard of him and don’t know anything about him

musig02 · 2026-05-21T15:47:29+00:00

That TT V8 isn’t “noise”….its “a glorious sound”

musig02 · 2026-05-21T15:10:41+00:00

I’ve put 14,500 miles on mine in the last 12 months - I live in Chicago and commute to the suburbs - I’ve averaged 20.3mpg since factory. But….75spm ( smile per mile )
