i agree fred you have one nice fountain there!!! if i only had the extra coinage.
that boat was in hotboat for a couple years in the classified for 140 or something. dude is nuts. i just cant believe he put it on ebay with no reserve. when i first saw it there were 4 bids and it was at 30k. i wonder what he started it at?

The guy can have his wife or a buddy register and bid the boat up to an acceptable number. If no one tops the fake bid, he's lost nothing.
Let's say this guy thinks his boat is worth $125,000. In the last hour he has his buddy bid it up to 124,000. If someone brings it to $125,000 great, he's sold his boat. If not, look for it back in Hot Boat.

He also made a mistake by writing "this boat is worth" instead of "I owe over"
