Even so, $150 for S base, unmarked leaf?

Looks ok to me, but its priced on the high side.....

[Bufordm1]

Thanks guys,
Price does seem steep. Looked ok to me, but wanted to verify with those who have been at this for a while.. Amazing, our friend on the left coast sometimes gets that much$ for his repros. Anyways, pleasant change to see a real one amongst the fakes.

If repo's sell for $120, how can you price a original one lower?

[Bufordm1]

Here's one for less. Has that "been there done that" look.

Not trying to be picky. But I wouldn't call that "overall good condition" as the listing says. And up to $76, whew....

[Bufordm1]

Ha,
When I posted the link it was only $52. Didn't think it would go much higher since seller's "overall good condition" didn't quite match most peoples definition.

[jimb16]

It went for more than it should have!

Sold for $129.49
Time to get out the spare parts, wow.
