Unbelievable. Some guy is trying to sell a beat up, broken and incomplete Ringmaster, complete with a ignition Torpedo 29 engine, for $270!

They say one mans junk is another mans treasure, but ...........

Hello
I don't think a C/L flyer would buy it, but collectors get crazy. Normally I see adds like this in the Antiques section of our local sales web site (Trade me) aimed for the 'man cave' (off term) with lots of patina . See the old 1970's RC pattern models in the Antique shops here for silly money too.
Regards Gerald

I made an offer.  $1.00.  I hope he accepts.  LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~

Hi Ty,

I think you bid too much!  LL~ LL~

Personally, I'd tell him to remove the engine and discard the POS Ringmaster.

Later, Jerry

I had 5 obsolete Army hand held squad radios and battery charging stations I acquired during the 1990 draw down of 7th Corps Germany...legit
acquisitions... worth every bit of $25 each....
Early in 2001 I was clearing out my attic and offered them on E-bay ---they quickly bid up to over $600

Final bid, as the auction ended up, was from some Alabama Fire Department...I contacted the bidder and confirmed his affiliation and sent the radios to them  gratis.....my gift...and e-bay still charged me...sheeesh!
