This is obviously worth more to the seller than any buyer. I can sympathize as I have a couple of things like this (worth more to me), but 2K? He should not be selling it............

Oh dear...
Built by his deceased father, "which was" a lead foreman at McDonald Douglass (McDonnell Douglas).
I only hope that I can do as good a job when I'm dead.

Looking at the solder joints, and seeing as he did this whilst dead, one can only imagine the ambient heat in the area of his residing to allow solder to flow so freely.

Well, yuk.
I am going to propose, based on the seller's handle and command of English, that this is a Nigerian scam.

Nah. That's someone from the Heartland right off the top of the bell curve; Nigerian scammers have a much better command of the language,

I love the "stories" that people use on eBay. Just describe the item and set a price. I don't need to know that a second cousin of a close freind of a co-worker whose brother is a priest who lived in China Town and knew The Woo Tang Clan that gave a secret recipie for General Tso's chicken to a brother of the uncle of the second cousin.

Hmmm......I'm thinking that the secret recipe for General Tso's chicken has more value,

Actually, were it listed in a category for "folk art", it just might sell.
