$5160!!! yikes!!! at least mine actually IS scary!

I actually made it scary to attempt to rid ourselves of a flatmate a few years back that would have tantys and smash things, it's been a fantasticly reliable machine ever since.

we changed all the LED's around so small load was actually large load etc and we even went as far as making the motor sound "circuitbent" with some changes to the "rotary positioners" (Wave file of the recording) .Yes, she finally moved out thanks to our little prank much to our delight.

Yowzer! I wonder if the winning bidder will actually have to pay that much.

Isn't that how the TM rules go ?

If you bid and actually win it you are obligated to pay that amount to the buyer?
