:shock: I have to wonder what the hell people are thinking sometimes. Or should I say, not thinking.

Can't wait to see what it goes for. I'd consider it for parts, but if it still goes for over $1000 then I'm locking my Rick in a vault for the next 20 years. :evil:

That "thing" sold for $736 less than 2 months ago - unless this just happens to be another blue 4003 lefty limited run-in-with-a-chainsaw issue...

...Otherwise it just keeps coming back like some unstoppable zombie.
(Now the asking price is a bit over $1000!?! And looks like it hasn't ever been cleaned - then again maybe the perp's prints are still intact....)

I don't know why anyone would pay $700 for that thing, but I'd definitely drop a couple hundred on it assuming it still plays fine. Too bad there's always a sucker out there willing to blow the pricing curve for everyone.

Can't it be repaired? Lots of filler or replacement pieces of wood combinated with a respray? :idea:

The guilty one(s) must be hanged in the highest tree. :twisted:
