Subject: Collector's Corner..Scisys Mark V Prototype Sees bidding action

As predicted the Prototype for the Mark V is being hotly contested on Ebay

although it remains a mystery to me..why the frenzied bidding should come with
still more then a day to go and no bidding since the auction first appeared

as i mentioned in an earlier post the prototype has not been tested and the
seller SAYS he did not get an adaptor to test it

the seller knows full well that the prototype is worth much more if he can show
it is working

personally i think the seller probably did test it and it dosent work,but this
is only a hunch on my part

i imagine the bidding is on speculation that the prototype can be repaired

still dont understand why the premature early bidding though..

if this is a tactic to scare away potential late bidders ..its a silly
attempt(IMO) as there are TOP collectors interested in prototypes
