and then he advertises them as "FULLY RESTORED"... sure the concept is nice and doing fun themed machines is as great idea... but Rattle can paint jobs are not "FULLY RESTORED"

Unbelievable!  I wonder if he has sold any?

       I've been watching this guy since he started listing, since I have been doing up some squaretops lately as well.

       He sold a DR Pepper in February for $2500. Last year he sold a Coke for $2200. Nothing else!

       I predict he is going to really take a bath on most of those fantasy machines.

I have came across his machines looking on ebay as well.

Just checked his feedback on ebay, only shows one machine sold last year, as an accepted offer.

I've seen these on eBay before. Not being particularly experienced in paint work, I wondered if they were any good.

What is the deal with the text formatting on that page? It looks like a 5 year-old discovered a licensed copy of FrontPage installed on a computer.  :Oo: There might be some occasions where that overlap would be effective, but selling a $250 machine with a $150 (if that) paint-job for $2000 is NOT one of them.

I noticed he only showed the interior of a single machine. I wonder why.

Well, his forte certainly isn't writing effective e-Bay adds!

It's effective entertainment value, anyway.

I wonder why the English is so bad? ¿Tal vez él habla español?

(I do not speak Spanish, I was intending to suggest that the person selling the machines might.)

That "Fully restored" Harley machine is missing the bottle door.
