The €4,000 mega crane

[Richard Dower]

Saw this item for sale on Ebay, a cool €3,999 - with FREE shipping!!

Id be interested.... the red thin 1x7 alone would be VERY valuable, though not THAT valuable.   Could you please post the link?  I checked a few different ebay's in and couldn't find it.

As it turns out, those aren't even thin lift arms.  

Not worth anywhere near that money.

I'd say that it is even badly designed, becuase it uses plates and hinges in the truss :)

I'd say it is vastly over priced for what you are getting, but then we are in the silly season for Lego now.

This is fun, you pay one dollar per part for a ugly, bad designed model.

It is a free market.  As a seller, you can set any price you want.  It still remains to be seen if anyone will buy it.  Please let us know what happens.

 Let this sink in: This thing costs as much as several used SUVs I have seen on the internet. But, I am willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. Why? Maybe someone in his life wants him to get rid of it, so he puts it on ebay for a price he knows it won't sell for. But, I have seen people asking for $1.25 for a bog standard black 2L pin. So, ebay has a lot of crazy/high people.

If I recall, eBay now charges a listing fee whether or not the item sells ... Wonder how much that was.

It depends on a number of factors such as features you select for your listing.  There is a calculator:  http://www.fees.ebay.com/feeweb/feecalculator
