My kids don't need that college fund. They would just waste it on learning. I would buy it in a heartbeat if it would not result in my wife tying me up in a sack with a donkey and an adder and throwing me from the Tarpeian Rock. Oh well. |

Looks like he is wanting a gross profit of some 1000 percent! I might be able to fathom $1000.00, but $50K; you have got to be kidding! - Greg |

Won't fit on my apartment balcony, but I could definitely build a home around this. If only you could rig up the firing mechanism as a sort of overengineered mouse trap the amusement would be limitless. |

My wife wants to buy it. Did you check the Q&A on the sale? |

they didn't put a Donkey and an adder in the sack when they threw you from the Tarpeian rock surely? wasn't half the fun the 'trying to fly' motions made as you fell? Pat |

Very expensive heap of firewood. Their 'expert' was an archer, not an expert on ancient seige engines & it lacks a lot of bits, like nearly all the iron reinforcing. As the ad says, maybe suitable for a theme park but really non functional. |

Greg – you may want to check your arithmetic. Cost 120k to build (for TV company) On sale for 25k Profit? |

If it cost the company 120K to build that, then I must have missed the gold inlay and the platinum base. How do you spell, "SUCKER"? Perhaps I could interest them in some of my property I have for sale just south of Louisiana? ;-) - Greg |

I don't understand how it can cost so much to build either. But building anything seems to cost a ludicrous amout these days – 12 billion quid for an Olympic games? How??????? |

You have to pay for all those feasibility studies and evironmental impact statements, that accounts for 119K, so only 1K to build it!!! ;) that's a reasonable price, |
