hahahahahahaha.... $20,000,000 AUD. I wonder if anyone will buy it lol, I just added that to my myebay to keep an eye on. No offence to the guy, but I work in the industry, and you could remake one of those for about $5000 - $10,000 TOPS. Of course, the point is it wouldn't be original but DAMN thats some cash

I always find this statement a contradiction on ebay auctions:

"there is no reserve on this item for this auction."

So what do you call the starting price then???

This guy really has no clue, if it were a true one of a kind collectors item would a potential buyer take an ebay advertisment like this seriously?

There are globally well known auction houses to handle this sort of merchandise, not ebay lol haaaaaaa
