Actually, it's an "Oil-well"

You know it could be a scam but then again scamers don't usually research any thing.

guys sorry - i'm going to have to offer him $6000 if he takes it of ebay.
anyone can have a keyless Olwell for $1400 (I'm guessing) and wait a year plus, but this one is $5000 and five years !!! it's special !!

And to think he could have gotten another couple thou out of it by claiming it had been played by Michael Flatley . . .

Heck, you can save yourself a buck and click the buy-it-now button. It's only $5999.

More like one year (14 months for mine). The wait for a keyed Olwell is long enough that they don't even give an estimate. I wonder if the seller is confused (both price and wait time).

Whew -- thanks.

The shipping cost is $25 in the U.S. Ridiculous. I would have bought it otherwise.

Hey, you pay for the Olwell, and I'll pay to have it shipped to my house, O.K.?

David - whats the catch ? is shipping going to be $$2000 ? it sounds too good to be true !

it's true that the buyitnow option is a dollar less, but i don't care, i'm doing it for my own conscience

Dana - i like your idea - let me think about it OK?

I wrote him yesterday when the item first went up. Here is what he wrote back...

Yep. Now if you "buy it now" you can have a keyless for just a bit more than the price of an 8 key.
