Hi Greg,
You are correct regarding the weight, the seller added this to the bottom of listing:
On Dec-22-12 at 10:11:12 PST, seller added the following information:

 After a member was in doubt: 42 KILO / 42.000 GRAMS!!

 International: 92 LB / 9.5065 OZ

Best Regards,
Bob

It would seem to me that if this is real the seller meant to write "42,000
grams". The image looks like a Muonio and the size suggests one in the
40-kilo range. But I also agree that a zero feedback from seller and one of
the aggressive bidders at zero seems suspicious!

Best Regards,
Greg

The weight can not be real. 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds so 42000 kilos
is 92568 lbs.

Merry Christmas
