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

Yes, I made a couple assumptions. Nope- no hidden anything.

I just don't understand why a couple folks here are raggin on this guy's
attempt to sell his aircraft. That is quite unfair!

If his "opening bid" is high, then I guess it won't sell. So what. But don't
try to relabel it as a "reserve" (that word has a quite different meaning)-
only Ebay has the authority to call it whatever they want.
