On board he's the captain, so climb aboard

There are a few things wrong with this auction for a wax replica of Gavin MacLeod:

1) They won't ship it after it's been won [by me].

2) They have no idea what kind of treasure they've got on their hands here -- the estimate is "$1.00 - $1,000,000.00". Hey, thanks.

3) The starting bid is kinda steep when compared to this replica of a Rameses II statue and this replica of Chairy. Damn! $50? That's just insane, even if you're just buying it not as replica memorabilia, but as furniture (which would be my motivation).

4) Cap'n Stubing is the only Love Boater up for auction. Without a Julie or Gopher or Isaac the Bartender, your only fantasy playtime option is to bring the captain onstage with you at open mike night and perform "Come Sail Away". Admittedly, it'd be a kickin' rad performance piece, but there's only so many times you can do that before you'd become known as "the Love Boat fetish guy".

4a) I guess you could also perform the theme from Love Boat. Oddly enough, I hadn't thought of that. See, that's why you're the performance artist and I'm not.

Fig. 1: Gavin MacLeod was also on an episode of "Oz".
Thankfully, I don't have an "Oz" costume for him to wear.
