    A bit like the .25 Imp D on Gstar a couple of years back that was £600 I seem to recall, the seller's phone went into meltdown!

    I walked clockwise around a hall of tables at Malvern a couple of years ago, a friend went in the opposite direction and got the VGC complete HW55T for £70 ...life's like that!

    If confronted with something with an asking price of less than a 10th of it's true value, I honestly don't know if I would feel 100% comfortable if the seller seemed a decent type who had no idea...Nice to get a bargain, but the conscience might be an issue.

    i whole heartedly agree,i did speak to the seller but as a buyer was on the way i felt i had no business indicating that it seemed cheap.so i was dammed either way.had i purchased it i would have felt uncomfortable.i'm not the sort of collector that is prepared to fork out huge sums of money for my hobby but would like to have a few shots with a mil.pat..atb
