Is this a FMZ Style C as advertised? Looks to me like a plain Z

[RHudson]

WELL i pretty new to engines....but someone really got a bargain on that one.....what am i missing?!?!?

[Bill Schaller]

I think that is way too much for a common engine. and, why would someone outbid the runner up by about 40%?

[Mike Smith]

Went for about twice what it was worth, or so it would appear anyway.

Bill,
The reason for the fairly large margin between the high bidder and the runner up is the reserve price. The high bidder kept bidding until he met the reserve price, which was $1500. That price seems pretty steep to me too.

I would imagine that the Hercules / Jaeger engine that this seller also has will have a reserve around the same as the FM. Good looking engine, but I agree with you guys - a little steep.
