Group buy maybe? If everyone put in their $1200 stimulus bucks we'd only need 10,000 participants, assuming the winning bid is $12 million. Maybe a bit more for buyers premium, etc. I'll volunteer to keep them safe at my house.

Well heck JE, I've got a very similar one hanging on my wall that I built from a kit and I'd knock of a million or two just for you.

sorry, but thanks for the offer .... the $299 derringer tapped me out ..... or probably be better to say if I spent any more my wife would probably lock me out ..
