$470 for a weather beaten egg, site unseen

I was watching this local auction.  The bidding war for this egg seems crazy to me.  The auction is an online estate sale, and the people bidding bought it sight unseen.  I keep thinking of the unfortunate poster last week that bought a used egg and the base turned out to be cracked.  You can get a new egg for a few hundie more at any eggfest with a lifetime warranty.  

I'm torn, I suppose I'd consider a used egg - but it would have to be in good condition and no more than half of eggfest prices.  What say you all?

I'm like you, I'd like to at least inspect it.

I could have  been more clear.  I was not actually considering it, since I couldn't see it.  I also think, for me personally, $400 would be max, even in great condition.

Last week in Tucson (2 hours south) a guy got $1000 for a used large with a few minor accessories.  It was in great shape, but that is higher $ than an eggfest egg - - -  and of course it had no warranty.  

Once again, I'm thankful to this forum - without it, I could be one of these folks overspending on an egg without warranty.

It's an estate sale. I would guess that the "lifetime" warranty is toast. Hehehe

If I bought a second egg the same size as my dealer purchased egg, the warranty on my initially purchased egg would cover my secondary egg if I had no scruples or morals or ethics that is.

Or the serial number that they ask for.
