Actually, this was on 2 weeks ago with an even higher starting bid- at least NOW they're getting realistic ;) For comparison, I bought the almost identical 1955 version months ago on ebay for a high bid of 99 cents- I felt sorry for the guy and gave him a $10 bill just for dragging it out of his basement.

It's no typo- the FIRST time (s)he wanted $10,000 with a BIN of $20,000. You don't make a typo like that twice. Interestingly, the first time they ran the auction, they called it a 1963 so I wrote them (through ebay messages) to apprise them that it was, in fact, a 1953 and, therefore, worth even more! ROFLOL!
 
I'd have a hard time finding this as I ususally look under the word "vintage" and not "antique". Doesn't ebay charge a fee based on how much your asking price is? I almost feel sorry for someone who is so 'out of it' - I mean, its kinda foolish.
 
They always misspell a word or two

Did ya see it has to be "Whiped" down abit? <br
I just looked at another wayout whacky auction where the receiver was used and the cabinet was "warn" down abit
So it was marked down to 269.00! WAY OVER THE TOP <br
If we all pool our money --the whole club mayber we can chip her down to $8,000 and save a vintage antique dryer -- THEY ARE SO RARE these days!! <br
 
While we here are perfectly free to disagree with auction opening bids, it generally is not a good idea to contact eBay sellers with snide remarks about their auctions. It is one thing to make helpful pointers such as correcting make/model or giving helpful background information, emailing a seller to poke fun at their opening bid is at worse poor taste and at best an invitation to a nasty exchange. Such emailing could also land one afoul of eBay's TOS <br <br
Those of us here have come to know and hopefully appreciate the rather tounge and cheek back and forth between members, however others might not take things the right way.
 
Here is a link to the first auction. I was wrong. Their original buy it now was $150,000 (not $20,000) as I stated earlier. They have come down to an eminently reasonable $20,000. You know what would really be a kick in the teeth? If they actually GOT it!
 
I think Frig might be right. either that or someone is several months behind on their sub-prime mortgage and needs money to save their "american dream" mcmansion in the suburbs.
