[Amps] Can some explain this curious eBay auction

[Tom Osborne]

I once listed an AM radio on eBay (just like the one in the Waltons TV 
series) for a customer.

He wanted $400 for it.

It had mouse turds under the chassis and I mentioned in the listing that the 
wiring may be gone as we never checked it.  It did have a beautiful case, 
though.

It sold for over $4000.  Within an hour it had hit $2000.  Blew my mind.

All you really need are 2 buyers who REALLY want it.    73

Welcome to the world of "Audiophoolery", where the perception of fact is 
above
fact itself. The world of $500 AC Line Cords, Xfmrs wound with Silver Wire 
and
other such things. I once saw an ad in Opera News for a Mono Amp with a pair
of 211's (AFAICR), that sat on a chassis hogged out of a block of
solid Aluminum.
The price ... a mere $125,000. Oh, you want Stereo ...
