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.

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.

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
