Lots of question marks here, but I'm not really sure you have a question. The Wagner in question last was reported "sold" for $2.8 million back in the summer of 2007. At the time, it was reportedly sold to a Southern California collector. Don't know where the Australia story came from.
Andrew, I've come to the conclusion that life is too short to waste time trying to communicate with people who have less than basic communication skills, as this guy exhibits. I'd just move on.
Last week I was high bidder on an Ebay auction at $1525, although my bid did not meet the sellers reserve price. Since I had actually bid around $1750, after the auction, I inquired what the reserve price was. I got back a rambling answer concerning how he had painstakingly put the set together himself and had over $4400 in it and would'nt consider taking less than $5000. Since he had just run a 10 day auction, attracting 9 different bidders, and no one else had topped $1500, I figured I was better off dropping it. In his mind, the time, effort, and dollars spent, were relevant to the selling price. They are not. In your guy's case his manifesto on world economy was crucial. You know it isn't.
Sometimes, more discussion isn't a good thing. Sometimes, it's just a waste of time.
