Check this auction. Bidding started at $25.00 with no reserve. So far it's up to $521.00 after ~ 13 hours. 6 days to go, any guesses on the winning bid?

Could you explain the significance of this plane?

I would defer to more experienced folks on this forum to confirm, but, it would appear to be a Stanley Bailey #1.
Collectors love these little guys.

The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

You are probably pretty darn close!

I just love the description in the title: "Small Plane". What an understatement!

Well, I mean, it is kinda small, right?

Thats pretty funny. Pretty cool too. I hope the seller is a decent person and is completely baffled at how much that little plane is going for. Everybody deserves a bit of luck now and then.
Where did I put that tape measure...

The best luck (for the seller, not for the current bidders) is that someone posted it here. Because not many radars are going to pick up 'small plane'.

Reminds me of a saying that involves a blind hog and acorns...
"History is strewn with the wrecks of nations which have gained a little progressiveness at the cost of a great deal of hard manliness, and have thus prepared themselves for destruction as soon as the movements of the world gave a chance for it." -Walter Bagehot

I think that was listed about a month ago then quickly disappeared. I emailed the seller on that one saying that I hoped they did not settle for a low ball buy it now offer.
Just sent them an email. We shall see.

Actually, by the time I posted this there had already been bids by 6 seperate bidders and the price had gone to $521.00. I don't think I was letting this cat out of the bag.Originally Posted by Mike Cutler

Gary, did you intend to say that ignorance is decent and knowledge not?

I didn't phrase my resonse well. I apologize for that, and certainly no offense was intended.
I wasn't implying that you let the cat out of the bag. I was implying that as soon as he saw the bids go up the way they did. He probably did a little more research to figure out just exactly what he has put up for sale, or at least he should have.
Once again, sorry for the poor wording of my response.
Mike
