Anybody have a spare $595,000?
 
Someone is selling a Hetzer tank destroyer on Ebay.

The engine has been completely rebuilt in the last 5 years at great expense. This includes new bearings, valves, solex carbs, rebuilt starter, magnito generator, and safety clutch plate. Starts and runs perfectly.

I suggest we buy it to aid Subsim's world domination plans.

Yes.

Not in the paint scheme I was looking for.

We're talking more than half a mil and you're sweating the paint job? Paint is cheap. I'll do it for next to nothing.

Skinflint. :O:

I'm surprised Dowly isn't bidding. It's likely to be the closest thing he'll get to a working Stug.

A Hetzer is not a StuG. I guess he goes for all or nothing.:smug:

Platapus 10-25-13 09:33 PM

Okay sounds good. We'll park it right next to the Aircraft Carrier we bought a while back.

Probably extremely high or low depending on how you measure it.

I bet it gets great Square Inches Per Gallon.

I'm afraid that won't work. Originally you could buy it for Reichsmarks, the Deutsche Mark was our post war currency that has been replaced by the Euro.

Here's a little offtopic story

I wasn't very old at that time. I was with my Father visiting some relatives, I guess it was. He was a very old man and I thought that he was very very rich. He had a parcel filled with German Reichsmarks.

Later on I learned that those money was worth nothing.

It was money from the time where Germany had this huge inflation were a cup of sugar could cost about 1-2 million Riechsmark. It was those money he had.
