Apparently nowhere near what the owners expected it to bring, but
still quite a lot for a beat-up old SG.

I didn't watch the show where he bought it, but I think someone here
said he paid circa $90,000 (?).

If that's the case, he still made $20,000 -minus Ebay's 9%- so he's
still ahead of the game.

That sounds right. They could do some follow up on some of these high
ticket items.

Probably charge another $25,000 for shipping :-)
