What are people thinking.... why even waste the money listing something like this...
I hope he posts my question to him.
I told him I am interested, I  think his price is fair but I'm a little concerned about the shipping costs... seemed a little high to me at 193.00... I mean C'mon... Priority mail for about 6 bucks... Geez :glare:

         And it looks to be perched atop a Crown Royal bottle cover  :Oo: . Cause nothing says luxury and quality like a crown royal bottle cover. Im getting chills as I type Oh the Luxury and decadence that can be expressed( touched upon if you will) via this auction. It's beyond compare. Either way I will be sure and BID LOL

I guess I didn't fare as well in American History as I had thought.  Seems this guy has corrected me on the following facts:

1. World War TWO was being fought in 1915.
2. The Great Depression was underway in 1915.

What was I thinking? :glare:

Yeah, I thought the same as you guys.  The price is right, but the shipping was just a little too high, and everybody knows that we were fighting Korea in 1915!

He responded to my inquiry about the shipping... simply said, "Thank you for your concern, good luck bidding"
As if there will be a bidding war!!!

My school must have been really bad.  I thought that we were fighting the war of 1812 in 1915.

Just asked my grandma and she said the depression wasn't great at all...
So I'm begining to wonder if they really know what they're talking about. :glare:

WWII or Korea in 1915?  I thought we were negotiating the Louisiana Purchase back then?!?!?!

I saw a listing on E-bay the other day for a red & white V-39 and the guy had it listed at $25,000.  I e-mailed him and asked if he meant to list it at $2,500 (still too high) and he changed it right away.

Not that I am an expert but after being involved in this hobby for just a few months and doing a lot of reading and web surfing, it seems like a lot of people have a very opinion of the value of their "rare" machines that are not all that "rare" after all!
