I'm waiting for the 'substantial price reduction' mentioned in the listing, ought to bring it down to under $400,000 ;) ....

I'll only pay that much if the garbage can in the 4th picture is included.

Interesting marketing tactic - price it so far out there that it's get some attention, then lower the price to something more reasonable.

I mean, regardless of the item, who wouldn't want to tell their friends that they negotiated the price down from $595K to $30?

Q:
I own several bridges across the East River in New York City. Would you accept one of them as payment? :D

Ha!ha! I would, but if you look again, you'll see I've just lowered the opening bid by well over half a million! -Mark

^^^That's okay. Suggest you'll sign over the bridge as payment, and he can send the component as well as $100,000 in gold bullion. And he can pocket the difference.

EDIT: Of course, you should still insist on a free t-shirt.
