    I first visited the site a few weeks ago looking for this:

    It was listed for something like $200,000, so I figured it was a C2C site and someone was waiting for a wayward tourist to spot her purdy backside and think she was a Lange. Guess it was an error. Glad, sort of, to be able to make the purchase now.
