First off...great piece...following your Mays collection here on Net54 has been fun and cool to see you add that...


I will echo the others, leave it alone. I say that as I have been on the other side of this coin...not as drastic, but enough to where I wish I didn't just didn't know, ignorance would have been bliss. I also collect/restore classic cars. I had bought a classic 60s car and was making my parts list...when I noticed I had a part in perfect shape I didn't want or need. I never really sell anything as I save all parts, even old ones I won't use just in case, but figured I could part with this to help pay for the new list. I listed it for what I thought was a fair price with an "OBO"...it sold in 1 minute for full price...and the ebay buyer was the parts dealer I was going to buy from! I pm'd him and asked him how bad did I screwed up...at first he wouldn't answer until he had tracking...haha...but I convinced him I would obviously honor the sale, then he told me it was worth 15x's that wholesale. Lesson learned...but prior to that with no knowledge I would have been stoked for the full price buy. Sounds silly...but...it's true and now I have a funny story to tell friends with the caveat I wish I didn't know...


Again, love the Mays box, cool to even see it!
