What am I missing on eBay K-28 Damon Era Thor Agena-B kit?
Two individuals placed bids in excess of $400. What am I missing here? The hang tag is even torn through at the punch hole.

Gerry,
I had the same question. Price on the facecard suggests it's a pretty late model of no particular rarity. I once sold some Centuri parachutes and was shocked at how high a price they sold for. The purchaser explained that he had a VERY complete collection and wanted that particular parachute because the package had a pre-printed price of 35 cents and he had never been able to buy one. It was in the old days of ebay and he knew the person who bid against him was a collector friend of his who bid high for the same reason he did. Neither of the two bidders on today's Thor kit were newbies, so I wonder if it's something like the price-tag issue on my parachutes. I sure wish one of them would step forward and explain it. If they want to remain anonymous they can feel free to PM me and I'll pass the info along. Steve |

I think he was referring to Ben Franklin's "A FOOL and his money are soon parted"

I wonder if those are even going to hold up. The seller reported "failure to follow through" problems on some high bids from auctions earlier this month.

Franklin / Barnum... same thing, same reasoning... they were cousins you know. Yeah, cousins, that's the ticket!
I met Barnum once, over at Morgan Fairchild's house. Mick Jaggar was there too. Or was that Morgan Freeman over at Clint Eastwood's house? Fool / sucker / idiot.... they're all cousins. Randy www.vernarockets.com |

How about a hybrid quote (from P.T. Franklin):
A fool and his money are parted every minute! |
