The listing was first put up on eBay on May 1, 2008, the night the episode aired. However, the day before the auction ended, NBC Legal Affairs contacted Ferry and asked that she not give away an original script from "Did I Stutter" that was being included in the vehicle sale. Instead of removing the script from the auction, Ferry chose to stop the entire auction. Ferry re-listed it on June 16, 2008, and this time had cast members autograph the car.

- For 2B, Ferry wrote on the eBay Page:
I first put my Xterra up for auction the night the episode aired. Of course I informed my producers, and there was even talk of cross promoting with NBC publicity, but in the end I was told to go ahead with the sale on my own.
Then, a day before the online auction ended, I was contacted by NBC Legal Affairs and asked not to give away the script, which had generously been signed by the actors as a gift to my buyer. NBC considered the material in the script to be their property, as they did the sides and prop stickers. Out of respect for my show and the network, and to be fair to all bidders, I closed the auction on eBay(which the highest bidders were fine with).
After regrouping, I am listing my Nissan Xterra on eBay once again. Now, anyone can have the chance to own and drive Dwight’s car, which Rainn Wilson was kind enough to personally autograph on the driver’s side visor(see video). As an added bonus, I am extremely fortunate and grateful to be able to include a few wonderful donations from “The Office” cast to the winning bidder.
- That seems to cover everything said in the paragraph you quote. If you still disagree tell what info is unsourced and I'll find one for it. Thanks again for reviewing --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 13:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

- Both the ref. and the lead work fine. I'm sorry if I put you through some hassle, is just that I wanted to make sure that it did cover that info. Sorry. But, enough of that, congratulations, you know have a GA in your midst. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:42, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
