You would think people selling extremely rare and expensive fighter aircraft would come up with somthing a little better than ebay, so they don't have to deal with all the dumbass bogus bidders!

Yeah....and we also thought sellers of $100,000 cars wouldn't be giving them away LOL
I've come to this conclusion salesmen will use ANYTHING to generate a sale, I'm surprised they didn't put the planes in the recycler.

Now it looks like the seller isn't honoring the bids on his auction without an initial telephone call.

That would be pretty funny if some jerks credit got ruined because he thought it would be funny to bid 99,000,000. They should do it just to prove a point, they would get tons of publicity!
I think they should just park the F-18 down by the Universal Studios entrance with one of those 99 cents for sale signs on the canopy glass! Then some rich ass overpaid actor or rap star driving by could buy it with his pocket change!
I could just picture P-diddy or sombody like that pimpin out that Hornet for their next video- Gucci seat cover, gold wheels with spinners, and some crazy super metallic paint job.

All the hoopla surrounding this story kinda reminds me of that Pepsi ad fiasco a few years back. Anybody remember that one?
Pepsi was running a promotion where you collected points which could be redeemed for various items. In their TV commercial for this promotion they would show some of the items and their point value. The last item in the commercial was a Harrier which they showed landing at a school with (what Pepsi thought) was an outrageous point value. Of course the jump-jet was intended to be a joke, but some dude was able to gather some investors to offer up the monetary equivalent of the points (which actually was way less than the true cost of a Harrier) and took Pepsi to court to honor that ad.
I believe the case was eventually thrown out, but Pepsi probably learned a thing or two about trying to be too clever.
