he could have had it listed locally and got a good price for it and ended the auction.

But....it is a different picture and this one has rack handles......doesn't look black to me either.  Maybe it is just the lighting in the picture.

...Maybe it will be..." BACK IN BLACK"!!!!!  :P :P :P...I have no desire to mess with any item a forum member wants, much less one that Tom wants. I actually emailed the guy about why he ended the auction and got no response...
