Re: Not outrageous
In Response To: Not outrageous ()

I know the box, it used to be mine

The band is original and only the insert replaced and done to a very high standard. In all a good condition box and as Rich said they aren't out there in their masses so I think it's not an unreasonable price. Glad the seller made the price he wanted for it.

: Price for these boxes is £400-500 for a intact one, but there are
: people less fussy about the insert being original than others
: and they come up rarely, so overpaying slightly as they have
: done is not such a big deal. If you wait for a complete original
: one to come up on Ebay you may wait another 6 months +.

: The key thing is the band and the insert replacement seems to have
: been done quite well.

: Would i have bought it for £500 no, but i don't think it was too
: outlandish a price.
