Some of you might remember when my ERA came up for sale here on CC? It was originally offered for $25K!!! Well heck nobody could believe it was for "real". It caused a helluva stir and quickly became VERY controversial. There were bids, retracted bids and lots of "talk".
When the smoke had cleared:
1. It sold for well over the $25K price.
2. I had my ERA with 427 side oiler!
3. In the process I got me a new nick name: "Dirty Ernie" (Just call me Slick).
The lesson? When a "bargain" DOES come around you have to be able to RECOGNIZE it and be willing to TAKE A CHANCE by "jumping on the deal". If you don't, someone else will. Not a risky business type? Spend a little more money and take your time buying one (how boring is THAT????).
