I reached out to the seller and as a result they took the listing down. They were valuing the coil based on other coils which have appeared on ebay infrequently. Mainly they did not understand what they had, (or did not have). And didnt have a firm enough understanng of the market to realize it would never sell (even if the price dropped by 1k) Looks like they resell alot of estate sale type items. So I imagine it's hard to research every single item. Particularly if one really exists outside their knowledge base. Person seemed nice and was thankful I reached out and subsequently answered their questions. They did mention that someone else reached out to them, and was less than diplomatic when voicing their opinion on the listing. Not sure if it was someone here, but just remember we all represent the tesla coiling community, it would serve us all well to not make an @ss of ourselves when engaging those who arnt as knowledgeable as us on the subject matter. Cheers, Jay

listed... Hi Terry,You made me laugh out loud :-DAnd hi everyone else.I don't know what to make of this seller.I see the listing has ended now...no surprise.This person currently has 1900+ items listed... mostly all books, I onlyscanned listed stuff a little...not going to waste my time...and in myopinion a large majority of the subjects of these books I consider bizarrealso...and some again at crazy prices again...I am baffled at who originally made this on the thoughts for using the woodfor the primary like that. Why bother?Overall on this seller who knows? But in my opinion definitely a goof.Or definitely some other weird activity going on suggested by a few here inthe past when something Tesla coil related that is actually pure junk atcrazy prices.Chris ReelandLadd Illinois USASent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab® S_______________________________________________Tesla mailing listTesla@tedward.pupman.comhttps://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
