Superlotto in Canada tomorrow is 40 million. If I win, consider it bought. This and that 2004 Ford Supercab I've got my eye on. Needs new tires and a bit of rust removed.

Madness doesn't always howl. Sometimes its a quiet voice in the middle of a model build that says "Hey buddy, is there room in your head for one more?"
woa...how cool is that??
The seller probably doesn't know the difference between a jet and a rocket, but that's pretty minor compared to the opportunity to own a genuine Komet!!

It'd be an awesome display piece....probably wouldn't be allowed to fly it from any airport though....
Heck, even if it was allowed to fly, I wouldn't go anywhere near it if it was fuelled !
Would be a great piece to have, and try to restore....

It's also improperly advertised, by stating 'Functional'. That suggests it all works as designed, which is totally untrue, as it has received fire damage, and been standing for 67 years without use, so can't possibly be functional.
