These pickups were rare when you could buy one brand new and it was dear by airgun prices but I expected more positive response than I had. Due to open backs and hard work they were invariably the first model of a range to become extinct. Think mini pickups: when did you last see one? And they aren't 70 years old yet.
Presumably they were just lookers with more curiosity than cash, although the price and lack of a reserve was clearly shown. Danny's site shares one thing with the baye, its free. That's not to detract from it, I usually manage to think of an excuse to sneak in there a couple of times a week myself.
I hope it is the dawning of a whole new age of interest.
More power to your elbow, Danny. Keep it growing.
