Wow. Just Wow.

In the 6-7 years that I have been watching these things, I think that I have seen maybe half a dozen new F-122s go by (and that was all one stash, in Canada, as I remember) and none in the proper box, packaging, etc.

The price is probably about right, although the seller is handicapping himself greatly by not being willing to ship it.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Damn, son. Nice find. I wouldn't pay that for one, but I'll bet some people will.

It sure is fun to see one in foam and a box and everything.

I would not be surprised to see it go up on ebay for $1K
