    It's at 120 quid at the moment. Looks honest enough

    Looks like a well used specimen ... it'll be interesting to see how much it goes for.

    Personally, I think that it's now in the realm of crazy money ... however, with any auction, the winner is the person who pays the most! :shock:

    To be fair, this one appears to be genuine.

    Just because it's an expensive item doesn't mean it's dodgy. I think you're right that it's selling well because they won't have to wait 9 months - kinda paying extra for express delivery!

    Not everything on eBay is a scam!

    I would bet that it is a perfectly good. But when you pay for something like that and for £216!! Is a bit much.
    Only 15 hours to go!

    Just goes to show what a limited supply does to price ... personally, judging by the use it's had, I'd have said it was worth about £100 ... but I guess that's the power of the RM name!

    However, I'd be careful anyone ... if there's anyone out there thinking that their will command that kind of price. I have a feeling that once the new ones make their rounds and become available on demand that the price will drop. Also, wait until we see the WS Woodlore in the hands of Mr Mears ... I'd imagine that the first time we see that the price will change ...

    Like fine art!

    Sold! ... For much more than it cost new!
    £226.66 :shock:
    Bidding history is interesting though ... in a real world auction you'd never bid against yourself three times, jacking the price up £50 in the process. :shock:

    you don't up the price when you put another bid on if your still the highest bidder. people do it quite often it seems
