Please tell me this is a typo...
8,500 starting bid. That's a 5% downpayment on a $170,000 house

Don't think that way. Think of it as some wack off kid who may or may not have such and is trying to game the ebay system by picking off one just one fool. When they're that price or half that price their will be descriptions weights given..not such sparse text.. This is a kid playing a game. Don't mistake it for anything else.
Now if some knucklehead hits the BIN button...well then...lol
See thats the only thing he left out to complete his shuck. A BIN.
the email address is in his text so his mom doesn't see

Saw that & thought the guys gotta be crazy. Probably is a prank. $850 maybe $8500 no way.

I messaged the guy about that, told him he might get $1500 tops...he said he just put it out there like that knowing people would tell him what to expect. Still....geeeez.

The seller" relayed to me... He did 'some work' on someones house and this was 'given to him'. (developing) He said 'its too big for him' hinting that he IS a drummer (we'll see) The "Pictures" he sent me- Would only open as large jibberish 'notepad' files on either computer I tried. He 'searched for years for information' about the cymbal. Well. It'll probably fade the auction and that particular cymbal. Or the opposite will happen. He'll run a new auction 1$ No Reserve. its all (developing)

ps I did offer him 400$ and a pair of gold candle holders (trying) to find his 'other interests.....

I'm glad I came out here and looked to see if anyone else had seen this. I guess ebay is a good place to show off your shit. Like a bike rack... on a vehicle that has never touched dirt (there's a lot of that up here in Marin, CA). Tempted to bid in the last 10 seconds or so to see if I get out bid. Hmmm... gold candle sticks? You don't say...?
