anyone else surprised it's only at $500? but then, the reserve hasn't been met yet.

I think DH may still have his toy ferris wheel made from tires! Anyone remember that? Was it from Goodyear? There is still time I see to bid on the model.....only $510.00 for minimum bid

PandyPaws, that's it Did you go to the fair? I did but I didn't ride it. I'll have to check it again and see if all the parts are intact. Highly doubtful DH would part with it though!!

yes, Krisu, I did go to the fair, several times. I was only 4 1/2 at the time, but I do vaguely recall riding the ferris wheel once. I have much better memories of riding the COP, or Progressland as it was called back then, and IASW...I must have ridden those quite a few times
