I'll go one it doesn't break $3K....

You're ON for the original five Keeneys.

For the record: I can cover both of these bets. If I lose (auction doesn't close over $3000) I'm out fifteen Keeneys, five to you and ten to the other guy.

I'll go one it doesn't break $3K....

Hello? drwstr123 and nvmos2-- are we ON?

I want those Buckleys.

I was too conservative...

I walked away from the computer after last post; it's already over $3k with 20 minutes to go. I really had no doubt that it would break 3K; just having some fun; but I can send you some Buckley tokens no problem (I think they are Buckley; 5 cent size with a big "B".

COOL! Enclose a SASE and I'll send you a few Keeneys!
PM for details.

NAILED IT!

Based strictly on my very limited experience watching the trajectories of bidding behavior on eBay, I'd reckon that extrapolating from the current level of interest near mid-way through the auction that it'll end up $3K to $5k, even despite the fact that the thing is totally busted and incomplete.

Note that the winning bidder put in a second, higher bid this afternoon that wasn't needed in the end. That means he was prepared to go higher. Only he knows what his upper limit was, but it was more than the final price.

Closed at $4249.00.

I have been tracking eBay & VCA auctions for my Trade Stimulator Price Guide. There has been only one that I have seen. That sold 11/11/2006 for $14,000. There is no picture available for that machine.

Lets have a few comments from other collectors. Anyone want to take a guess at what this one will close at.
