I bet the minimum bid accepted is easily $200,000. Let me go check my bank balance. :D

Current bid price is $55,000 and the reserve hasn't been met.  If that thing is fly-able, it should sell for somewhere between $200,000 to $300,000.  What a lot of people don't realize is that the main expense isn't the airplane, but the maintenance and operation costs and I would imagine that maintaining a vintage military jet would be quite expensive.

If I was a millionaire I'd buy it and travel everywhere on it. Talk about eccentric!
