That looks very nice. What do you think it'll top out at?

My guess is 4 - 5K and thats a steal. Where's Ron A. he'll buy anything.

Of course he'll turn around and sell it tomorrow for 6 K.

Only bad thing is it says no shipping, you have to go pick it up in Maine. That's a fer piece from Texas.

Yeah that looks pretty nice. But that is too far for me to get it too.

Good morning Ron, you've got the money and I've got the time....oh...that's a song. If you want it, I see a road trip in the works.

The gyrobee on Ebay was my first Bee. He bought it from me while I was in SW Florida. Got his dad to drive down and back over a very long weekend. He's added the pre-rotator system which probably puts it over 254 pounds. It was one sweet flying bird. I had Rotordyne make up a special set of longer blades with a stub hub bar to save 4-5 pounds. I missed it after I sold it and promptly started building another one!

Guys

Note the differences between this legit eBay gyro auction, and the fishy looking Magni auction. This one has identified seller, identified bidders, lots of accurate information on the machine, it's written in standard English, and there are many close-up photos. the price, while a good deal, isn't (that marker-beacon of all fraud) "too good to be true."

Plus, Curran stepped up and ID'd the machine.

The exact opposite of the Magni auction...

Hey! Scarborough, Maine is right in my backyard... and a quick assay of my posessions shows that I am without rotorcraft. Hmmmm..

cheers

Yes I thought that magni auction looked fishy to me as well. I went to Ebay motors and didn't see it there.

This gyrobee looks like a good deal Kevin. I say buy it!
