    Default Can You Even Fathom the Shipping Costs???

    It's big, it's heavy, it's expensive, and it's not going to have its reserve met.

    A. The damn thing's nearly half-a-ton in weight. I wonder if USPS has a Priority Mail box big enough?

    B From the bottom of the auction:
    According to Boeing, cost was over 1 million dollars est. to build. Contains Gold, Silver, Paladium, and other precious metals.
    Yeah, I'm guessing the reserve is astronomical - no pun intended.

    C. if you won it, could afford it, and even had it shipped to your house, what in the name of the Holy Trinity would you *do* with it?

    I would turn it into a hat rack. Or i could by two and hang that hammock i've always wanted in the living room.
    I am in fact the guy that made the Raisins prototype worth thousands less by dumping it. "D'oh!!"

    Even if I had the money for that and can cover the shipping, I'd have no place to put it. I don't have 8 feet clearance in my house (the highest is just under 7.5 feet) and even if I had the room, I'd rather waste the space for an arcade machine like Sega R-360.
    Another day, another dollar... wake me when it's payday.
