It was an e-bay deal.....but the guy did a horrible job of listing it. Never even had Rupp Centaur in the heading. The guy was well aware of is value and a "Buy it now" to match. He couldnt understand why his listing had so few hits and no bids. We exchanged a few e-mails and it became clear he was going through a divorce and was hurting for cash. He came down to a price that made it VERY attractive. I told him if it werent for the 1000 miles between us I'd hhave no doubt. He said......"If you can get deal done this weekend, I'll take another 1000 less. That was it...the race was on......
