I agree that 30K is nuts, and for a bitster at that. But the buyer doesn't know it's a bitster, and it is presented as a complete unit which has seen war service. No offense to the ebay sellers on this forum, but this seems to be par for the course when it comes to ebay.
The recession may take some of the guys out of the game, but there are still lots of guys out there with too much money. Quite frankly, in my neck of the woods, nobody I know has lost their jobs, and the only reason I know that something is going on is because gas is half the price it used to be. Otherwise, if I hadn't read about in in the newspapers, I wouldn't know it existed.
I see the old girl has now crossed $15,000. Still a long way to go to reach that reserve.
