Still a better deal than the 12K Ritchey sport-touring frame but I think there's some extra 0's going on.
25K would be a stretch but a hair more realistic, maybe?

Redxj posted this a few hours earlier in the eBay Finds thread. He also says that this is the bike that was supposed to go to JPII, until someone at the factory dented the top tube!

Well, I'm sure that God would want somebody to spend a 1/4 of a million $ on a holy racing machine.... 
I hope that this trend of nice, maybe even gorgeous bikes being listed by numbskull sellers will end soon..Or is this what we can look forward to for the '08 season??

It's hard for me to swallow that Colnago would be OK with having any show bike with dents.

The bike is my old coach's. He got a number of years back for what I'm guessing is a pretty good deal of money. It's been in his office for at least 10 years. The money will go to the Cleveland Velodrome Project.
Check the seller location and my location. The pictures were taken where I work.
And yes, it's real, the thing is gorgeous. I've got pics on my cell, too.

In that case they should make that known and be selling it as a "charity auction". Or have a raffle for it. $5 dollar raffle tickets worldwide might bring in some serious coin.
That sounds like a good cause and correctly marketed for that this bike might bring in some money for it. But as it is being represented I don't think anyone would touch it. If you know the owner I would suggest rethinking this before it just turns into a joke.
