Skewered on a giant spike  

Not that any of my readers are going to be bidding on it, but the Berwyn Spindle sculpture I mentioned last September has been languishing on eBay for more than a day with no bids. I do think it's kind of a suspicious auction though. For one thing, the seller isn't very convincingly identified, and from the way he's (?) answering questions doesn't seem to take the process very seriously. Also, it's not clear why the starting price is $50,000 plus shipping when the alternative is just to have it demolished. Why not start at $1 plus shipping? And then there are the estimated shipping costs, which the seller is listing as $100,000 when much higher figures have been claimed in the past during discussions about moving it down the street.
