I quite like them- nice retro feel. I put in a bid for this item that was less than half of the winning bid- and even then, I had that uneasy feeling that maybe I was bidding too high. I remember seeing a fantastic one on E-bay maybe 12-18 months ago, NOS and I don't think it went for this amount.
Still, as we discussed on this forum over the last month, it seems as though prices are generally on the up, despite the broader economic problems, so maybe we all have to adjust our views as to what "good value" means?
