Gems from the auction.  I wonder which option the winning bidder will 
choose...

------

"I've received some emails, and yes I am willing to set it on fire, shoot 
it full of holes, etc. and mail pics/video to you.  If the bid gets high 
enough to cover my ammo costs, I'd be willing to shoot it full of holes 
with your choice of the following:  12 gage slugs, 00 buck, or a 40 round 
mag from an AK.  Then I can make a pile of the remains, douse it in 
gasoline, make the Wile-E-Coyote trail of gas dribbles for my safety, and 
light it on fire.  The winning bidder would get pics if they so choose.  
Or I can ship it to you.  I could even ship you the charred remains if you 
like.  Hey man I just hate it.  Let me know.  Whatever trips your 
trigger."

>>"Why are you restricting shipping to USA only? I would think you 
>>should be excited about the possibility of sending it to Iran, 
>>or hell or france or something.  Just wondering."

"Yet another good idea.  I will ship free to France as long as they 
surrender.  It doesn't matter who they surrender to, it could be 
Australia, Bruce Willis, or even McDonalds.  But if they surrender before 
this auction ends free shipping to France!"
