I know the guy just has his hand in the glove and he’s tethered to whatever is powering it (It was 1965, give science a break), but man, if it were backpack mounted, I’d have the perfect means to both live out my personal Warhammer 40K fantasy or to get my revenge on those spineless creeps who tore down Spindle in the middle of the night.

That's not a comment, it's a trackback. I don't link to gallery sites for artists here (because the links die/change sometimes), I generally only link to either personal sites or Wikipedia pages when referencing an artist. Dustin should probably have a Wikipedia page, given that the Spindle has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_%28sculpture%29" rel="nofollow">a page of its own</a>.

I contacted the seller and the response he gave me was flip, unprofessional and didn't answer my question at all. I still doubt that the Ebay auction was actually legitimate, and if it was, it was handled in a way that I believe was negligent and possibly intended to discourage or confuse potential buyers.

I thought the whole ebay thing was a hoax, or publicity. They actually destroyed it with a backhoe in the middle of the night. To be replaced with a Walgreens. Because we don't have enough of those.
