Well I've been thinking of bidding on this old checkmate but I have no idea what it is. Its a 14ft 2 seater from the mid 70's. Can anyone fill me in please?

I decided not to bid because of the long haul. But with 30 seconds remaining it went from 113 bucks to 284.99 Amazing what happens in the last minute on that site

If you have ever been to http://www.samsclub.com they have auctions on there that are called "Popcorn" auctions. If you bid anytime in the last hour, it adds another hour to the auction this way it allows everyone that wants to bid to get a chance. That gets rid of all that snipeing crap.
