SO tired of some of the stuff that is on EBay...

After Katrina there were TONS of these floating around....

What would make ANYONE think that after being exposed to SALT water, that there is ANYTHING worth saving!!!

I WOULD pay the shipping on one of these to have as a conversation piece, but no more then that!

Venting....maybe we should get a hold of the bidder, maybe he thinks SALT is at Roman era prices!

Well for $25 there are components that you could use that would not be affecter by flooding. All the electronic components would be toast, but exterior parts should be OK to use after cleaning.

e.g. I could purchase that make a glossy black lid :D

OR. after purchasing it you find out that it has accidental coverage still left.. :D :D that would be jackpot!!

But anything over $25 + shipping may not be worth while.

I'm amazed that people will pay significant money for such junk.

One man's trash is another man's treasure?
