What's a tarp?
"Why not take a few good pictures of it, with you in the pic, and start with an opening bid of 8,750? That way you don't have to pay for a "reserve auction," and there is a good chance of an opening bid leading to a bidding war (higher opening bid might not do that).
If you do that and get a lot for it, no need to thank me. Cash windfall or gear will suffice."
I assume you've done this before? Real estate I'm guessing?
my street cred and pussy cred would go up by +5 points if i could afford to have that on my bed room wall.

TTT for a piece of history.
Chris,
Contact Sothebys and Christie's and see if they would be interested in handling this. I would imagine this would go for much more than 5k.
Good luck
Trade for a nice Rolex GMT Master II?

The Rolex is worth more than 5k.
If you have a few buyers at 5k then why are you still talking about it?....FP

I have 2 actually but I also just tossed it on ebay for $7500 as well so I'll give it a day or so.
Have you got a link for the Ebay auction??
Chris, good move requiring PayPal. Do be careful though. PayPal has
crappy buyer protection, and even scammers can get through PayPal.
Make sure you have supporting evidence the buyer is who they say
they are. Phone call, bank ID, seller feedback, etc. And you might want
to edit the description real quick to add NO ZERO FEEDBACK BIDDERS
OR YOUR BID WILL BE CANCELED. PLUS, I WILL WAIT TO SHIP UNTIL
YOUR FUNDS CLEAR.
eBay is great except when some little kid wins your auction and has no
intention of paying. Then, you have to expleain that to ebay so you
dont have to pay listing fees, and you'll have to go through the trouble
of relisting and waiting all over again.
Good luck, and expect nothing to happen until the very last minute!
Hey Cam, timing is a bitch eh?.....FP
Yes and no, it's VERY cool, but I have no where to put something that big. That's what I'll keep telling myself at least...
Chris,
Sothebys and Christies are the world's largest auction houses.
The problem with ebay is that you won't get the Japanese market. You could pull in some rich Japanese heavy hitters to buy it.
You'll probably still do well with ebay.
Good luck mate.
Disagree on PayPal. They will flag any transaction over a relatively small amount, even of $2000, resulting in the funds disappearing from both your accounts.
It's a near guarantee.
They are not the customer friendly entity you might take them to be. Check their record on the BBB. You will see.
