Another ebay auction

Post by PutzinVT »

This house just got listed.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351968914210?rmvSB=true

Pretty cool. A bit beat up. Still a cool house.

This is the same house I think from Papa Ted's archive

Also scroll down to December on this page. More pictures.

Looks like one of the ebay auctions for this house went for over $1000.00.
wonder where this one will end up.


Boy, I'd love for Brain to figure out some dimensions for this one.

Just noticed a neat thing about the building.

On Ted's archive. His notes about the house was wondering why the green chimney was off to the right. and if it was right.

I noted one of the pictures on the above auction showed the top of the building, where the chimney would go.

So there you go. The coco outline shows it was off to the side, without anything else there.

I figured this house would be going for more than it is now.

Currently at $170.50.

13 hours left.

Looks like it might be a steal. Considering how much it has gone for before.
