I found it but for some reason searching on 172 didn't find it. It's
not in my budget but it looks like a pretty good deal.

Since when are 172s homebuilts?

Since airplane buyers are often looking for an airplane but are
flexible in terms of exactly what they are going to buy. Someone
looking for a Christavia Mk. 4 homebuilt , an O'Neill Magnum
homebuilt, a 4 seat Comp Monster homebuilt, or perhaps someone who WAS
willing to settle for a Kitfox... may find that they can get a 172 for
the same price, regardless of whether it is certified.

In other words, a seller of a Turbine Legend, or a 2/3 scale P-51, or
a brand new Yak-18 / CJ-6 would ROUTINELY put their ad in a Warbirds
newsgroup even though a Legend and a Chinese trainer are definitely
not warbirds, but because those airplanes have the same kind of
performance as many warbirds... it's fair game. And a guy who wants a
P-51 but is thinking twice about the price tag might be interested to
know of an airplane of similar performance for less money. BTW, the
reserve price of $24,000 HAS been met on this auction, so at this
stage high bid flies away with a good solid airplane.

Ya think maybe of someone's looking to BUY a plane they might check RAM ?

Posting this on RAH is spam.

I'll give ya $10 for it.

But Your Honor, does that mean that all the hundreds of 'experimental
for sale' notices I saw on RAH for YEARS were also spam... but you and
the Content Police DIDN'T bitch them out? That would constitute a
"prescriptive easement", to use a common real estate term, meaning
that if similar postings not 100% on-topic were tolerated on RAH in
the past then at a certain point the Content Police lose their right
to arbitrarily yip-yap about it at a later date.

Postings not 100% on-topic in RAH... Perish the thought!

Send me the ten dollars, I'll see whether the owner will take it.

Yes.

It's still spam

Never mind. I won't buy from spammers.
