They relisted because of a "few" fraudulant bidders!! I'd say!!

Sunday night Riots in Sidney

That our riots?? in Sydney??

WOW I cant believe that made the news over there, although they were bloody horific.

Lexie

Yes, and someone DID tell her about the 'pre-approved bidders or buyers only' option.

Lexie, I am lost...where did the quote come from? What riot?

Lexie, yea it did, but the story I saw only gave it about 10 seconds of coverage.

Puppy, yes, see she has revamped it this time.I'm surprized the bidder names are not withheld.

Mrs.M...
I think it was Mory that mentioned it made CNN.

Uhuh, Mory mentioned it.

I shant go into all the gory details, its been brewing for a while I guess

Lexie

Oh, I missed it, I guess.

...I guess, but the jet lister is Michael "Mike" D. Landa, so my guess would be a "he".

Jabbergah                                                    

Oops. I saw Landa as Linda!... Sorry Mike.

Aww, who knows today, Puppy, if it is a female or male...names don't mean a thing! Look at San Francisco!

No bids on the jet yet! Puppy, maybe you have chance yet!!

CNN did another clip on the Jet Auction - they had the PIECES Photographed and said it would be doubtful if the aircraft could ever
be restored to fly. They also showed the Web Page with the price at 2 million.
This has enough attention now you could weld the frame together and sell $10 tickets to have your photo taken just sitting in it - and get your money back in a week. Between NY & Texas you could Gross 20 Million - this year - any investors?
bY tonight there will be T Shirts with the Web page & photo selling at Grand Central you can be sure.. & the book and movie rights will sell for more than the airframe. Now you can say
"Only In America" ....mory

Don't know how I keep missing it. I watch CNN several times a day...must be during my potty break!...Let me know if you wanna print up some tees!!

HERE IS THE JET ON CNN<angel jet>

Great Site: In their search block I put
Sidney Australia Riot and got more on the youth that was killed when he fell on a fence. Very sad, it could have happened anywhere - and does.
The story on CNN at noon showed the jetframe in a pile by a long green dumpster plus a second photo of just the airframe. I did not see any Blue Paint - anywhere - so the photos on the auction site must be of other stock photos of other Hornets. Misleading?

Yes, I would say! Maybe they will have that one on the cnn site later today. It does say it is not assembled in the description, but I think the beautiful pix is what sticks in your mind!

The seller was on the radio this morning about the auction. Said they have had to cancell it 3 times due to fraudulant bidders,

He is expecting auction to end at $30 million.

I would think he would do better at a private auction house

also said bomb racks are non-functionable. and this bird was destioned a Blue Angle aircraft off the production line, so no weapons systems were ever put into the aircraft, and would be very difficult to incorporate

Thanks, Jet. That is interesting! I would hve thought at least they would have had the bidder's names private!

Any thoughts, suggestions, enlightening on why (don't tell me "it must be me -or "operator error"

Snipehunter

OK now for nutter stupid question; how do I suscribe to various things in "My Pop???
I am not technologically challenged...(at least I didn't think so...)

Snipehunter...are you openening the link in a new window or clicking the link directly? does it display properly if you refresh the page once you have the error?

Also, what did you want to subscribe to?
