$1,200 Boys Donald Duck! Ebay!

New Mexico Brant

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
If you study the pictures it looks like they have it priced at: $1,049 on their tag. Why isn't there any paint wear on the duck's beak, touched up, replaced? Phillips screws? It just looks like a greener banana compared to the rest of the bike.

I think the Phillips screws are correct, but they stand out so I used slotted ones on a restoration I did.
 
Here's a few quick pics of my own. The seller was a super guy responsible for the online sales at a consignment store mostly filled with generic antiques and garage sale items. They had no specific knowledge of the bike, but knew "it was special". The bike had been on their regular showroom floor for over two years, priced at $1049.00. His $1200 ebay price was just an attempt at clearing the same final price after fees.
I see no evidence that anything has been off this bike since new, much less replaced. It has some cosmetic issues that will prevent it from cleaning up perfectly, but my plans are for just a good cleaning and some wax. I'm hoping I have some period correct 20" tires in my stash, but if not that will be my only additional expense before Don finds a prominent display spot in the garage.
