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.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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
