check out this rocco [Jason's RANT]
I only pointed out that auction b/c I am trying to sell my rocco. If I get in that neighborhood of money for it I will be pleased. I have sunk a lot more than that into it (too much). Plus there are 16vs in similar shape going for less and ppl scoff when you ask for that kind of loot for an 8v.
Maybe I will put it up on eBay, but they justed upped the nonrefundable listing fee to $40.00, and the closing fee is now $40 too. I don't know if the closing fee is refundable. I might get stuck w/a deadbeat or not even get any bids.
Lookin at the bid history of that one, I get the feeling shills were invloved, but I could be wrong. You can't tell where the starting bid was, I think.
