Price is starting to climb when the bots go off I can see it going to $10-15K.
$3050 with ca. 30 minutes to go. Like you say, if there are sniping bots it'll probably go up a lot higher.
I see it's in AL. My Dad's in AL -- wonder if he would let me store it in his apartment until I could get down there to get it? ;-)
EDIT: $4305. Somebody's poking at it.
Also, eBay is helpfully suggesting similar items: "New small 6hp Diesel engine." Yup, that's identical all right! ;-)
