I can't believe the amount of bids on it, 8 days out!
Thats nuts......
I saw a malvern star mustang dragster in 8/10 condition go for $240 on sunday night...chalk and cheese.
Have a look, seller has a description up now and the bids are going nuts. It's got to be an inside job.

Probably. I just don't get water-testing via the Dutch auction direction.


They must catch one now and again, I guess.
