Nah, some who bid simply enjoy pretending that they are making a bid on something they can't possibly afford. It's a slightly askew logic but if it makes them feel good, or a shill/friend, etc to stir up action, that's how they get their giggles. Kinda like people who made low bids on Pepsi Harrier jet n stuff. Sometimes just a shot in the dark.

Personally I think it would look better in Celtics Green. Not very big on that Lakers yellow... (big grin).

Doesn't look too bad. It's still an SL65 whether on black or yellow paint.

interesting theory. Makes sense. Yeah, not crazy about the color, but I'm sure some people are.
