Re: 450 Stearman--opening bid $63k no reserve

You may think it's a "play on words", but it's all correct. $63k is the
lowest he will take and he is displaying that right up front- what's your
problem?

Lemme see here: Opening bid=$63,000, No reserve. Yep that's correct, just
like Ebay labels them. Of course you can start your own auction site and
then you can play little word games your self. If the "opening bid" is
higher than the "price police" think it should be then call it a "rip off
start" or other such label you happen to pull outa yer ass.

Agreed. There's always somebody that feels the need to express an opinion
which seems to be drug induced. It's hard to believe they actually think
that way.

The guys just trying to sell his aircraft- a beautiful one at that. Maybe
these snide remarks are from none other than jealousy. I guess it's rough to
admit to yourself that you'll never sit in the pilot seat of such a classic
bird, let alone *actually* own one!!

Oh well, Here come the flames. Bring them on!
