I think Jason was joking about his $3000 ceiling bid.

Besides, if people really believed him, there would be a few clowns (not to be confused with 'self-righteous' clowns) who would throw in a $2,900 bid just to show him. That apparently did not happen.

I thought he probably was joking BUT if he wasn't and two people put in bids of 2995 just to screw with him then someone walks away actually paying that for the item. I think it was enough to scare a few people off even though I did get the impression he was kidding.

No, they then retract their bids.

I will out myself as the underbidder at 888
I think it is a nice piece and sometimes we get too caught up with is this too high or low
If you like it just buy it (or try)
Besides it takes a long time to find something decent on there
You kind of have to go for it then

But I think $888 is a good low retail level

I believe when the winning bidder gets this "cabinet" he will find it to be of little to no value. I saw it last week and am pretty sure it's one of the Ohio/Indiana fakes. Could be wrong but I don't think so. It does not have the right look. Having handled and still having quite a few of these, it just does not have the right look. As most will know, there are multitudes of Carl Horner mounts available on ebay and elsewhere, where any kind of photo could be applied, just my gut thought when I first saw it. For the buyers sake, I hope I'm wrong.
