Pricing policies are ever more bizarre (i think some people rely on software for this?)

I can't think of any other reason why a badly photographed dusty post-war Avometer with a crucial lump missing...worth maybe £8- is up for 2,3,4, or 5 hundred GBP... This would mean my pre-war Model 7 would have to go on the household insurance as a specified item..ooh, at least £1,200. No, mate, it won't work! Did i make a sarcastic bid of £1 as a subtle hint? Yes of course. I felt like Father Dougal when he was confronted with a big red button marked DO NOT PRESS!
