Talking eBay Madness

There's a guy on eBay apparently trying to raise the bar on the cost of ownership of NOS Side-Oiler blocks.... ...by selling a '68 Service Block with a starting bid of $19k.

It is hyped with every 'auto-erotic' term like..."Thunderbolt...GT-40...SOHC...R-Code", etc.

But... that's not the madness.... (although it qualifies)

He is also selling (in another listing) a disk of pictures of the block....I repeat, just a CD of about 30 pictures of the block

...well, there is 4 days to go and there are 15 bidders, with the high bid at $730.



A fun one to watch...

How many of the bidders actually think they are bidding on the engine block? Should a short reading comprehesion test be mandatory for bidders?

...or have we all missed a fantastic second-income opportunity in the "disk-of-parts-pictures" business?
