Yes, there are people to whom 24K is nothing and who would buy it just for a laugh.

However, that can’t really be taken to represent the actual value.

The value of any collectable must be what the collecting community would trade/swap it for.

The question is then: Would the buyer be able to swap a 24K Sea Harrier for another aviation item of a similar value (not by chance, but as a defacto trading standard)?

I did not say it was worth 24k,I said whatever somebody is willing to pay for it,has the reserve been met ??not yet!!
