HOLY CRAP! SOLD $49K WHAT THE? WOW
YOWZA
The game is started and some hard core crap went down. $40K in two minutes. OUCH, stay tuned here for the BS and ship talk afterwords. Here is the bid history as of 3:42, And then 2 seconds before the end, a 49,100 slam bid! HOLY COW. High drama as promised and it all started around 330 until the last second
SOLD $49,100
Guess somebody wanted it real bad! Looks like there is still a market for these things. Or we’ll see it relisted…………….
I think that’s also happening to the CZT Market !
Wait — Why is your bid list showing a different winner than the one I am seeing? Even has the same price as the winner.
It is the same now. Are my eyes playing games on me, or did something change in the stroy?
WOW, way over my $20 K guess.. Hope there is a Chattanooga connection.. We live here. Some people know of the prior factory here.
I just updated it.
To whom ever bought it. CONGRATS! This is a great move for our passion. Far more than a boat, but hope!
I will gladly sell my completed replica for the amount of the losing bid. Just add water!
whats 40,000 the government prints that in a fraction of a second at least whoever bought it will have something. when they get done printing our money wont be worth anything.
I laughed out loud when I saw the final bid. Good for the seller, hope the buyer knows what he’s doing. You want what you want.
Was there a gold bar not advertised hidden in the boat?
Congrats to the bidder and the seller!
ebay made some easy money.
A few days ago…
Matt, “So? I ask, does owning and showing a classic wood boat make us earn the title “Conspicuous consumption”?”
It might, when someone plops down more than what many earn in a year….for some rotten lumber.
Hey Matt. Don’t take the bait. Most get it that we’re having fun and also like old stuff.
I agree with your feeling. I don’t see how this helps the hobby at all, it just makes us look stupid. Too many people with way too much money to burn.
I would believe that most of us would identify as “old and antique”…….and damn proud, pleased and blessed we made it this far.
Now for the new owner, the fun begins!
Rock on.
Just curious what it might cost to restore this boat with correct engine, parts, etc. ie all in cost finished given the audition price.
Congratulations to the new owner ! I hope they keep the boating community updated on their plans and progress. Certainly would be some more Great future stories.
Long time Listener, First time Caller.
Consiptulous consumption for sure. It’s going to look good in my barn.
Congratulations to the buyer and seller! What’s a Bitcoin here and there…
