They have a non-fuel engine, but they can't spell "president"?

The bit I especially like comes, as it should, at the end: "THIS IS A VERY LARGE SALE AND SHOULD ONLY BE BID ON BY PERSONS ABLE TO FOLLOW THE TERMS OF DEPOSIT, DOWN PAYMENT, REPAYMENT AND BRINING THIS TO THE FINAL MARKET STAGE." (sic)

Assuming that's not a misspelling, I'll bring some salt.

Hey Fred: AND buy it now for 91 million. If you bid 1 mil. you haven't even cracked the reserve price. The reserve price is probably closer to the 91 mil. Happy bidding.... Ron

It is indeed quite a strange auction. At least the guy thinks BIG! But seriously who would bid on an auction like this? I am not too familiar with ebay listing fees, but would it not cost a bundle to list an auction with such a huge reserve price??
