Must of been the same folks at this past weekends auction.
I forget what it was but 2 people got into a bidding war and
paid twice as much of a brand new one. Heads were shaking.

I passed one up several years ago that the guy wanted $90.00 for.  I thought that was too much.  But maybe not.

In good condition, $90 is not far off.

when buying COLLECTABLES I am reminded about a saying among Ferrari collectors. "you can never pay too much for a vintage Ferrari, you can pay it too soon though" IE: eventually it will be worth it.
