Ahh well. I guess that I wont win this one. I could continue bidding, and I will keep my eye on it, but now that shipping is offered I think that this will escalate to seriously high numbers. I would not be surprised to see it break 100 pounds easily. To rich for me.

Now that he's offering to ship it, I definitely expect the selling price to go waaaay up. If all the blisters are truly from the E40k era, you're looking at an original retail price of easily $2500. The winner may make out like a bandit.

Hi!
This auction reminds me of a similar deal I did. The retail value was about the same as this acution and I bought it for 600 bucks.
So I'd say 100 pounds is pretty darn cheap.

Well, with more than 2 days left, it seems that allowing postage did the trick. The current stands at 128 pounds - so far. Well done to RB for staying in this long. I cant wait to get back on Monday to see what it finally goes for!

Hi!
Anything under 300 pounds will be an excellent deal, so We'll see how high it goes.

1 pound/blister would be an awesome deal. I expect it will go higher than 300 pounds.

Oh well, I didnt get it. Ended at ?372, and my max was ?278 (I only went that high to stop it going to a trader!), but it went to a blasted trader anyway (ahem, apologies if the trader happens to be any of you guys...  ).
On the bright side, getting an inventory of the items shouldnt be hard as they will all soon appear on ebay under that sellers id

Arh what a waste!
Now who'd agree that we're going to see 300 seperate auctions and a man earning loads of cash during the next two months?!
I can't help but think what I could have done for my gaming group! I could have sold it cheaply and gotten new blood into it all! But then again - would I be able to resist building the whole lot myself?!

In some ways maybe I should have gone higher. Especially seeing as my car insurance has just cost me ?425, but then again maybe thats a good reason NOT to spend the money

), so I suspect it must be one of those. Just wish I could remember better what was in them...
), and it would be a shame if it was lost due to people holding back. I would say your $600 sounds about right Primarch, I can see it going for around that.
