has 3 people watching it! Yea, I know.....

ROTFL!!!

Hey, I've seen stanger things sell for big dollars.

I sold an extra torque converter which I didn't need for my
International M-TA tractor for more than I paid for it by a factor of
ten.

And I bought the thing on Ebay originally. :)

I fear I won't get what the gumball machine cost. It was an xmas present
for the daughter some years ago. Only child syndrome :-) I think it cost
around 80 bucks. Like many xmas presents the novelty wore off after a few
months. It decorated a spot in our game room but the upright galaga crowded
it out a few years back and it's been in the attic ever since. I sort of
collect piles of extraneous stuff and occasionally list a group of things on
ebay. Thus the reason it's all so unrelated. This pile is going to pay for
the assorted gaskets and new bellows to put the boat back together after I
finish my transom repair :-) You are right about never knowing what someone
will pay on ebay.
