[SEL] Prices on ebay

[Russell]

Peter around 4 months ago I saw a 1905 Hornsby booklet; (36 page, original with great hi quality photos and good info) on ebay. I am a keen hornsby collector and did not have anything like that. I had an idea on value for this being around $75 to $85.00 Well I thought it would go at a hi price but I really wanted it so I had a proper crack at it and won it. I paid $180 dollars for it. Well above my idea on price which within a few engine mates cop plenty of slack and sledging for my behaviour. Well bugger me if the same booklet has just been completed again on ebay -  see below

$1009.00 dollars .................. WOW WEEE .......

My wife has suggested I put mine back up with a $750 by it now. 
You just never know whats going to happen on ebay I tell you.

PS: I'll keep my copy .........
