I hope I can find out what it goes for on Saturday. 

By the way, if you go to that auction website, there is some seriously weird shit for sale, plus another Big-Daddy-mobile.

Bones...that's another one of those no right-click deals. What's the trick?

You have to turn off Java script so you can right click the image. In Firefox, its in the Tools, Options, Content section. I couldn't easily find out how to do it IE. I normally use Firefox.

Oh. That was pretty easy. Thanks!  


Ed Roth's Road Agent $350,000




Ed Roth's Trike $15,000. We have a photo of Big Daddy and a lady on this trike somewhere in weird thread.

The final prices haven’t been posted yet, but I found a forum that had a couple guys at the auction Blackberrying info. Mostly they reported that the auction was a disaster (sort of like the Bucs game today).

Bike Hauler $55,000
Druid Princess $185,000

UPDATE: On the Bike Hauler...the guy that bought it has bought it four times now. Says, he'll make an easy hundred grand in a couple years, maybe more.
