Actually, I did email the seller of the A152. I wrote him that his airplane looks good, but that I won't get into a bidding competition for it. I wrote that I will watch how the bidding goes and if the reserve is not met, perhaps we can do some dealing. Then I asked the usual questions about the empty weight, who did the overhaul (to new limits?), the nose gear damage, etc. I will wait till he writes back.
It is pointless for me to bid on an airplane and I won't do it as nice as this machine may be. So, maybe the reserve won't be met and then we will see. However, it has been for sale on ebay just one day and there have already been about 20 bids so far.
