I think you're right about the bidding war, rossi, the fact it's finally hit the reserve might stimulate the bidding. then again, sometimes when things go too high too early, it puts off bidders, so you never know (but even at the current price it's at the upper limit of what I'd ideally like to pay, if not already quite a bit higher :lol: ). I'll probably not bother going for it, to be honest, but don't worry, I'll not get carried away, I'm a pretty disciplined e-bayer, I've missed stuff before because it went over what I was willing to pay. I guess it'd be a bit daft to pay ?300 for this one when i wasn't willing to go over (i think) ?225 for the last one like this (though granted it had a bit of a dent in the side, but other than that seemed in great condition too)... :lol:
that's sage advice about the prices, too, stratman, just because you get it for a certain price doesn't mean that when you're ready to sell it on you'll get the same amount back... other thing is, with the credit crunch and all, prices may start to drop (but that could work both ways as people may hold onto stuff if they don't think they'd get a decent price)...
as i said, I'll probably pass on this one. Thanks for all your help, guys.
