This went for a lot less than I thought

Am I wrong, or did this go at a big bargain?

it is a unique piece but i would not consider $2300.00 a bargain.

This item went for less than I thought (but more than I sniped ). I have seen a number of these; O'Toole is replaced by Walter Johnson in a variant. Very cool item

Better category and better title would have brought better $$ IMO

That is a pretty nice S110. It would easily bring $5,000 in a major auction.

Good buy for someone.

5,000 at an auction house.

somewhere around that number.


I know its hard to call a multi-thousand dollar piece a cloth a bargain... but it looks like it went for about half price.

My snipe was beaten also, but not by much. However $5,000 at a major auction house is very optimistic in my opinion.

In the December 2005 Sotheby's auction, one sold for $3300.

In the November 2006 Hunt auctions, one went unsold with an estimate at $3,500 - $4,500

Please let me know where I am wrong in my valuation of $3,000 - $3,500

Dan - I don't think your valuation is out of line. There were enough people who saw it, including me, that could have run it up if we had wanted to.

I bought one of these in Mastro auction in 1998 for just under $3000.00 with juice. It is in better condition than the one on ebay I think.

The last one in Mastros December auction went for $6,500.

It looks like it is in real nice condition in their catalog, so I was just using that number and discounting the one on ebay since it was not as nice.

No matter, the one on ebay was definitely a good deal at $2,300.

Thanks Harry, the Mastro auction didn't come up in my research.
