I would guess some are attempting to buy it before it reaches Ebay (not me!).
I assumed that was the reason to entice us all here.
Bruce, Brent, I believe you are both correct. I had sent a pm advising him to let his auction run it's full course on eBay. He had already been receiving offers. He even offered Jensen the opportunity to make an offer. It turns out our friend Bill made him a superb offer which he accepted.
You will see more of this Jensen #50 as it is on it's way here to the Office of Steam where I will give it a sympathetic restoration consisting mostly of a deep careful cleaning, new gaskets, and replacing missing parts.
I will make a thread and steam-up video.
