Probably is a Bagain.

But a better bargain would be for someone to pay me to accept those.....

Insane prices aside I wish this guy would take better photos, this is an interesting looking doorstop.

Pete,

If you scroll across his images using the "magnifying" or "zoom" feature, the detail is fairly clear....at least it is for me! All kidding aside, this one looks to have had pretty nice paint and lettering at one time.

Yes, but these are each 50 dollar doorstops - maybe 60 if they run and are 2- railed.

Here is a fairly nice model and only overpriced by a factor of five, instead of 20:

Yeah, it's three rail, but it's Kusan ferchrissakes. We used to get this stuff in boxes we bought and just pitch it. I saved a non-powered FA just to have one (FA) on the shelf. TWO GRAND to start?

3 orders of magnitude overpriced

3 orders of magnitude overpriced is $2. Somebody, somewhere probably would pay $1 each. I know that's not you,

The check is in the mail!

I corrected my typo on Bargain which might help you understand my SARCASM. I wouldn't pay $2 not to mention 2K. While some doorstops are interesting to look at, I do NOT particularly lust for any of them. This seller is just looking for a P.T. Barnum kinda person.

I am not a fan of the E6, so I wouldn't pay very much for them. I have paid $50 each for junker E7s. I think I have enough. And I admit - I missed your sarcasm. I am sure the paint was at one time attractive.

My Adams fleet is going to be upgraded hopefully soon. And it has been literally years since I have done a complex paint scheme - I have Hiawatha and purple ACL projects slated for as soon as I get the Paasche back to functioning condition.

Still doesn't sound like sarcasm. I did not look closely, so I erroneously assumed you thought the paint had been ok at some point in the past.

The sarcasm was the TITLE: Feebay Bargain of the Year??? The only way it would be worth 2K to me (and probably 99% of the people in the US) is if it had $2000 in currency wadded up inside it.

I realize it may have value to others, but I have ZERO interest in early E units

As far as the paint, I DID in fact say that it might have had a pretty nice paint job at one point in time. That said, i still wouldn't buy the model unless I thought I could flip it! And you better lop a BUNCH of zeros off the price.
