Same one as in our museum, but this one appears to be in better condition. If anyone on the list wants to buy this for us then we'll give you ours. On Thu, Jun 28, 2018, 9:25 PM Mike Loewen via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Oh wait a second -- the ad says this one is a small model; ours in the hallway display case is a much larger scale. Disregard previous offer. :) On Thu, Jun 28, 2018, 9:35 PM Evan Koblentz <evan@vcfed.org> wrote:

I have it on my watch list now for the possibility of buying it for the museum as Evan asks. If anybody else in this list is planning to buy it for the museum, make it known here so we don't get into a frenetic and counterproductive bidding war.

I bid on it, but Evan doesn't want it, so I'm inclined to let it go. On Thu, Jun 28, 2018 at 9:42 PM Jeff Salzman via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Well, we would certainly take it :) but I initially posted before seeing how small it is. Anyway: hopefully Jeff S. gets it and then he can use it to take measurements + scale up for the full-size replica that I want us to build!

I understand your feelings Dean, but Since these are not common place items, I would hate to let it pass. Thank you dean for bidding on it. Dean and Jeff S. If you don't wish to acquire it now I understand. Putting aside for the moment The fact that it's smaller than the crappy one we have, i would love to see us have it as a backup or for other use/demonstration purposes. If you're not going to continue the bid on it please let me know and I will. Thanks guys for stepping up! I would never have spotted this on ebay. Makes you wonder how many things we are interested in that we miss (and how thrilled some spouses would be if they knew how much we missed!! ;-) Tony
I did not want it for myself, so I'll step out. If you want to acquire it for VCF, I'll gladly share the cost with you. On Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 5:16 AM Tony Bogan <thebogans@mac.com> wrote:

Thank you (I knew you weren't bidding for you but for VCF, sorry if it came across that way) I will be bidding on it to acquire it for VCF. Besides, since when is "we already have one" and excuse for any of us not to get another one! ;-) Tony
It’s in good enough condition if either of you get it we can use my 3d laser scanner to make a 3d model which could have many possibilities corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ

Guys -- if any of you REALLY WANT to own the model that's on eBay, then feel free to start bidding against each other :), all I ask if that the winner lets us borrow it for taking measurements and/or (awesome!) laser scans. The model we have is in poor condition .... it's safely installed in the hallway display case but I wouldn't use it for measurements due to its fragility. I am serious about making life-size replica. I already have permission from IA for us to adopt one of their period Army trailers.

My goal is to acquire it for VCF. I can think of several different uses for it not to mention having a "spare" albeit a smaller scale one in the event something ever happened to the other one. While cool, I do not want it for myself. Bill D. If you want, it's yours. I will be sure not to drive the price up by bidding if I know someone else wants it, especially knowing he/she would make it readily available to VCF as needed. I officially remove myself from the bidding process. Good to know someone wants it and will appreciate it!!! Tony

I have had a person interest in the concept.

I think it technically goes against the eBay rules to cancel a bid without just cause. The reason for cancelling doesn't appear. On Wed, Jul 4, 2018, 9:22 AM Dean Notarnicola <dnotarnicola@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes, I agree. I've seen other auctions arbitrarily cancelled. I think it needs to be done within a time limit. On Wed, Jul 4, 2018 at 9:24 AM <jsalzman@gmail.com> wrote:
