For Sale: The Beast

[mik]

I'm still winning
Anyone know the psychology of why people bother bidding days before an auction ends? Seems a waste of time and showing your hand early to me.

This. No idea why.

I was pondering this yesterday. I don't know either. Anything I ever buy on ebay (that isn't a buy-it-now) is won in the dying seconds of the auction.....

All this focus on The Beast has forced me to go looking for footage of the Meteor Engined SD1. Channel "Hot Rod Gazette" did a few relatively recent feature vids on it.

Whilst it's undoubtedly as rough as a Badger's tadger, - it looks and sounds way better than Dodd's monstrosity. I expect the wheels are worth more than any other part though.

Seeing it on the move (including comedy driver and passenger seat locations, and look at the footwell encroachment) , I don't want this either. But I don't want it far less than I don't want the Beast.

There’s a trade auction that I’ve bought a load of tat from, which has a rule where if any new bids are received in the last couple of minutes of an auction, it extends the closing time by a few minutes. It’s a good rule, as it’s more like a real auction, the bids can keep coming until everyone’s done.

Ending this evening. Glad I didn't put money on my £120k prediction

[mik]

£64,500 with just over 12hrs to go.... you never know....

[Gavster]

Still there with 5 hous to go

Given that the hammer price could fall halfway between one of our bets, here's the halfway points between each person's bids:

@mik £0 - £87,300
@ZedLeg £87,301 - £103,800
@Gavster £103,801 - £222,500
@nuttinnew £222,501 - £999,999,999,999

So if it gets £1,000,000,000,000 or more we just give the money to charity..... fair enough.

Let me get the rubber gloves and the Crisp 'n' Dry first....

It'll cost you £20.

Crisp 'n' Dry

Block or liquid?

[Mito Man]

Not even olive oil, fecking Neanderthal.

[Gavster]

Crisp 'n' Dry

Block or liquid?

Either way can you check a handful of sand in with it, to give mik that extra special service

I simply can't believe my luck. And on top of that - I collect £20.

[Beany]

Crisp 'n' Dry

Block or liquid?

One way or another it'll end up being liquid. Builders sand will do that.

[IanF]

Wait.. was Beany the Beast all along!..

[ZedLeg]

Not even olive oil, fecking Neanderthal.

Needs that high flashpoint.
