It looks like a nice clean aircraft. Are all the avionics and
instruments functional? What's the condition of the engine? Hours
since MOH, Top? When was the last annual inspection performed? Damage
history? Log books? Corrosion?

Like what? Except for engine/airframe hours, the description gives
virtually nothing of the usual information you expect in an advertisment to sell
a airplane. ...yet people seem to be bidding...

I guess it's not red-hot news: when you run a multiple regression on
factors bearing on selling price of a 150, time since major counts,
airframe age counts less along with age. In fact, it's easy to model
using age AND TT where TT is a PLUS factor!
It's the nearest thing to a commodity airplane there is

With 21 minutes to go, the current high bid is $13,950.00. Given the
1,757 hours and 31 years on the engine/airframe, I would suspect that
might leave room for an engine rebuild, and still be around market
price for SECOND WIND AVIATION SAFETY FOUNDATION INC.

Final bid: $21,100.00.

Winning bid was $21.1k; at what hours will this 150 need a major overhaul?
(Seller claimed Total Time of 1757 hrs on plane and engine).

Of more immediate concern, the seller said virtually nothing about today's
condition if the plane. If you bought it, could you even fly it home? I hope
the bidders took the trouble to find out before they bid. EBay is an amazing
place.

You guys are aware that bidders can exchange messages with sellers
without the email being publicly posted, right?

Nobody but the buyer and seller really knows what information has been
exchanged.
