I seen this one posted on another forum. Looks like this listing was removed?

No doubt they found out how valuable it was, and wanted to relist it at a more inflated extortionary reasonable price.

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.
"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man.

Likely could have gone higher if it were available to the US market.

Yea likely. What is worse: the shipping cost to US or the „only bank transfer“?

Yeah, really.  :?|

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
