It's worth a try, someone might actually pay him for it all.

I just "watched" that listing - I gotta see the result. Like not wanting to watch a bus wreck, but you can't look away

I find it quite sad. Can't help but wonder if it's a suicidal kid seeking to leave some kind of mementos of his time here.

Or if it's someone having a good laugh.

Reasonable shipping cost. I'll bet whomever purchases it will be on pins & needles awaiting it's arrival.

The starting bid is 98 cents too high.

No doubt someone will buy it as "an important piece of art" and no doubt, when you see some of the complete rubbish in the Tate gallery in London.

I am sure it is a joke but if it belonged to some Hollywood celebrity people would probably pay a fortune for it.

Appears to me just to be a 19 year old having some fun on eBay but it sure is strange smiling smiley

"1964 MGB" (Kirby) All original pull handle MGB, 3 main, with overdrive, but a daily driver with all the dents and dings to prove it -- Titled in 1965~~

"1980 MGB" (Robbie) Even though it's a RB it does have overdrive, a Weber Carb, and is my favorite MGB. We have logged thousands of happy miles together ~~

When my dog Hotsie died, his favorite toy (a stuffed cloth airplane) that he dragged everywhere went with him. He was the only one I've had with a favorite toy for his whole life with me. Once, he took it out with him and left it in the driveway, and I put it on the back bumper of my pickup and forgot it when I came back inside. Later that day, when I got home from work, my wife asked If I'd seen it, that Hotsie had been looking everywhere for it and she couldn't find it. I remembered what I had done with it and I retraced my path back to work, thinking we'd never see it again. But there it was, about 3 blocks from my office in the middle of a very busy intersection. I had black tire marks on it that wouldn't wash out, but Hotsie didn't care, he just wanted his airplane back. When we had to have him put down, my wife handed the vet the airplane, with instructions to cremate it with Hotsie.

Hey, you never know! Some nut was trying to sell a car hood he used to drag things across the ground.

It was a while back, don't know if it sold. Poor guy must have been hard up for cash!

77 MGB - Four tone paint - some kind of electronic ignition - hood props - cheap tires - new springs all around - mixture of poly and rubber bushings - original exhaust - fuzzy seatcovers - stereo out of old F150 pickup - virtually no rust - right front wrecked and semi well repaired - just about right for me!

78 MGB - Done right by a good PO, and I only bought it. Tell Jim how nice it is. But I did put in a Datsun 5 speed.

79/65 MGB - Tubby - Carmine Red - V-6 - T-5
Going to do this one more right, less rat rod!

Didn't you see the Homer Simpson glue head that sold for £152,000. yes one hundred and fifty two thousand pounds. on ebay a few weeks ago. It was just a bit of clear glue about 10mm in size. Some people will buy anything it seems,
