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?
