It's only average. But you realize that's the starting price, right? As soon as it gets going, the price could easily go to only fair and then to not-so-good.

There are only three hours left so I didn't think it would go much higher.

BTW, I'm pretty sure that is just a Stinky and not a Stab, just so you know. And it may not be an '06 either. Looks suspiciously like an 04-05 Stinky. 06 Stinkies had a longer walking beam; later Stabs almost all had elevated chainstays. I'd avoid this on misrepresentation alone.

I'd have a hard time paying that much for a 5y.o. monkey motion machine...not that it matters now.
