Title: RS1800 (was) on Ebay
Post by: ironbut on October 03, 2007, 07:06:11 PM
I've been putting RS15xx/1700 on my watch list for a couple of weeks now to try and put together a little buying guide. I happened upon an 1800 on British Ebay. I forgot that I was watching it until a few days after it ended. I was compiling data on the 1500's that had ended when Whoa! The 1800 started at 1 GBP and after 41 bids went for 3989 GBP ( that's $8144!) to a fellow in Holland. He has to be a collector. For almost half that, here's what I'd go for;
