The way things are at the moment most of the value is in the Coper

that cast aluminium one looks like the type of decks the russians used to produce,big lumbering things

there will be no last second sniping if this comes into play! ive just seen it on ebay.com so looks like itll be rolled out everywhere i bet,ive seen it on car auction sites before and just when you think the auctions over it adds another minute on the end which can keep going over and over again,ringing every last penny out of the bidders! this really can get out of control,how many times have you lost a bid and thought if only id have gone a bit higher,now everyone can itll be great for sellers but awful for buyers!

That’s concerning

the extended auctions have started in australia by the looks of things,i dont think the nose bone will create a last minute frenzy but its on its way

Yes it's a clever way to scupper the last second sniper bidder as anyone watching something end has a minute to think whether to bid again and the sniper bidder has only there maximum bid on

i think it will put folk off bidding,you will know if you place your last second bid that someone else will then have another minute to outbid you (which is guaranteed to happen) so whats the point of placing your bid? that was part of the fun,getting your winning bid in with 2 seconds to go

I suppose everyone will bid with 1 minute and 2 seconds?

no because if someone bids during that last minute then it adds another minute on,and so on and so on until eventually nobody bids and it ends,it could in theory go on forever

Yeah I do totally agree !
Maybe it could have a detrimental effect putting bidders off?
I suppose best offers and buy it now could be the way ahead for collectors….

the nose bone seems to be doing well, ive got one in my cupboard ill have to dig out and flog

i think the wheels have seen better days

the wheels look to have been blue but i dont remember alley cats in that colour? just yellow/green and black.maybe they were swapped out at some time

i think the yanks have finally lost the plot
