'A fool is soon parted from his money' as the old saying goes. The daft asking prices, I would guess, are aimed at trying to catch the Yanks and the Japanese. A thing is only worth what a buyer is prepared to pay in the market. The reply above proves that the seller has read and digested the internet pages he refers ian.allen2 to and determined the price accordingly, not necessarily what the market sees it worth. Thankfully practical knowledge and experience still counts for something, so there are still bargains to be had on ebay and obvious howlers to be avoided. 1963 Ted Woodall (Leader of Croydon) frame for less that £50, including postage, bought at maiden bid price. Damn sight rarer than Campagnolo Century and at that asking price, I could restore the Woodall with period parts, take it for a tour and still have change!
