I was the only bidder at 114 when I bought it. Genuinely did not expect it to break 100, and when 102 went on, I thought that was it. Unusual for an ebay auction, most bids were in the early days with a lone late one coming in early on the last day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted something similar here, too. The last update I remember seeing was here, from @DonderBlitzen, and there was nothing set in stone. I'd love to see more on sale, brand new, for €200, inside the next ten and a half months, but don't want to get my hopes up without some kind of source. Maybe @WRENNEIRE has posted the info and I've missed it? @Dempsey will be delighted to hear that they are guaranteed so soon, if that is the case!
