Jin, definitely a supurb engine. You could get many more 5 star reviews if you could add this engine to our $29 engines!!
Yes, it would boost up eBay ratings for sure.
There was a J06G listed for bids on eBay this morning with a start price at $29. Ended up selling for a bit under $37, but the problem with that being it had an $18 shipping charge with it, so that by the time the buyer paid for shipping and taxes, the total cost would be near $60, or almost double what the $29 specials have been when offered with free shipping, which comes in at around $31!
In point of fact the $29 BIN price is certainly a real bargain, but what is actually the real bargain on these little engines is the free shipping, IMHO!!
Before Jin started making these super $29 BIN/Free Shipping deals, I had already scored a few of his "J" Series engines on open bids for far less than $29, even in the lower teens when some of them were listed for bidding at $9.99, but with shipping they ended up costing more than what I've ended up paying on the super free shipping deals!!!
Just saying is all ....... but in reality, these little GEMS are truly worth whatever you have to pay for them, if it is something that you want in your collection, and I'm not sorry for any of the ones that I have purchased ..... and often for quite a bit more, just to secure an elusive model.

Sounds as though you rather like that one Jim.
Just don't let Jen catch you describing it like that ..... especially if she only hears it and doesn't know what you are describing!!!
Women do occasionally get jealous you know, and it doesn't even have to be about another woman. ;c)
LOL....that gave me a chuckle Daniel ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Okmo Microcosm Miniature Stirling Engine J06G
This is another of the very nice Okmo Microcosm J series miniature Stirling Engines.
Very elegant in its intricacy to look at and an absolute delight to run.
@JinMachine Terrific Jin
