1966 Piper Astek

Uh...yeah.

This plane was last used four years ago and has been sitting in the
air field since.Air frame wings,fuel tanks and landing gear are in
great shape.

Ha! I'd enjoy a demonstration of the fuel holding capabilities of those
bladders after having sat dry for four years.

Fuel Bladders? How are the avionics (or lack thereof)?

Like another poster said: $2k is all it's worth.

But the seller doesn't claim that the avionics are "in great shape."

I've flown without avionics for years. Flying with cracked fuel bladders
would be much different.

I doubt, however, that anyone is likely to be dumb enough (like me) to try
strapping two new engines on this plane. It's parts.

There are eight days to go. I suspect it's worth more.

Only because it's on Ebay. Have you ever noticed many of the things that
sell on Ebay can be purchased new for less money?

Yes I have, and all I have to say about it is "Caveat Emptor"

They can be stolen for even less. Does it matter?

I use "worth" to mean "what someone's willing to pay." E-bay is a fairly
good tool for determining that.

Your valuation of the object has minimal impact on the rest of us.

And just as many items sell for less than a reasonable price and many go
unsold. Nobody seems to mention that side of the coin very often.
