O.K. I'll guess $1150

wewnt for $1850, I better not loose my$2 chaepie, might be worth soemthing to my kids.
At least I can get it to work it did wonders on the reveals around the kitchen window

Yep $1825 big ones :eek:

I wonder what one in good nick goes for

I'm an Ebay virgin, so could someone please explain why some of the bidders for this plane made 3 or more consecutive bids? Is this just an extreme case of bidding frenzy, or is there some tactic that isn't obvious to naive little me?

ok here is an explenation on how it works.

Lets say you bid on an item that was at $40
your bid was say $90
it would only show up as $50 as that is the next highest bid.
Now someone else comes along and bids $60 it will tell him he has been outbid (by your $90) so he bids $70 same reply, $80, same reply, $100, he is now the highest bidder.
So as you can see he had to make 3 bids to outbid you.

It will never show your highest bid only $10 higher than the last highest bid. Others do not know what your bid was so they have to keep bidding to beat you

Aaaah, all becomes clear. Thanks John.

Ive got one in better nick. It doesnt have "A5" on the cap tho. What is the difference does anyone know?

I have no idea but I wouldn't be surprised if Derek does. Why not PM him?

PS
Lucky you. I hope you inherited it or something.

I don't get it. Why spend all that money on a plane?

Here's a little gem I picked up recently.

Okay. It'll useless, no doubt. I only bought it for the nostalgia value. Who knows, one day it mught fetch $1850 or more.

Cheers

Monoman, why don't you drop your front wheel on the deck and post a picture of your plane, as the Ebay site has dropped the picture, or firefox won't allow me to see it.
