We will just send you back up with Catherine....... (sorry Catherine, it's for his own good)

Bidding had ended at $40,100. Now that same ad says: "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale. This item or one like it has been relisted." What? eBay gotta limit? $35K? I didn't know that! | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 Member/10,000+ posts! | Member/10,000+ posts! Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 | WHOA!

And, a further hunch. If it goes for that cheap, the seller will back out of the sale...........

I didn't know that! Nope, ebay is truly no limit holdem. Having been a professional ebay seller once, my hunch... sold outside of ebay.

My A&P and I flew from Kansas to Florida to inspect the plane in December, 2006. I was ready to buy and willing to spend the money for the trip/inspection. While the description on ebay is relatively accurate, what is not stated was the amount of corrosion in the wings, control surfaces, and fuselage. My A&P indicated that he would not recommend sign-off of the airplane as being in an airworthy condition given the extent of the corrosion. That obviously ended my interest. Quite frankly, I have not seen that amount of corrosion in a flying aircraft in my 30 plus years of flying. The plane subsequently sold (it was on Barnstormers) for under $27,700. I can only suggest that, if interested, you inspect the aircraft with an A&P and/or AI prior to committing a bid. I just want to help members get a good plane, especially if the intended use is for aerobatics. Mike.
