Clicked the link, and eBay said the auction ended. Appears there weren't any bids at all. So did the seller sell it outside of eBay?

I was going to bid too but then they said they wouldn't ship to Canada. Not even Fedex would do it.

Bummer. I was just waiting for my Chase Sapphire Reserve to come in so I could kill two birds with one stone -- hit the $4000 for the 100k points and get $300 back on a "travel" purchase.

Perhaps they've embargoed shipments to Canada for fear of getting a 747 stuck in the mail if Canada Post goes out on strike?

Here in Oregon, we know what to do with an old 747. Yes, those are waterslides coming out the exit doors!
