Still a cool item but if it cost the buyer more than a few hundred bucks it was probably too much but hey, I overpay for things I want all the time so that is subjective, but I would value it around $200-$300 at the most.
It went for $5500+ with buyers premium. wow. The description was vague but I was wondering why it wasn't authenticated.
