607 Euros!

I would have guessed that is about the "going rate" these days, clean and complete.

They turn up for sale so seldom that there are no established benchmarks.

Well, 559 eBay sales and 100% rating, that's somewhat reassuring... They probably just didn't like the idea of giving PayPal a few points on a sale like that.

Likely. Or they feared PayPal’s „buyer‘s care rules“ as there are quite some cases of PayPal-crime
