    Its the same with everything with Ebay..

    I find loads of things interesting, Aircraft, Helicopter(Wessex,Whirly,Huey,Hind:D)

    Old Vespas and Lambretta’s that used to be peanuts, some now selling around the 5K price zone, Wrecked Italian Lambretta’s average 1K,:(

    Stationary engines, Used to be Mega Cheap, Now some of them command Thousands,

    It seems anything and everything these days has a “Collectable Following”:(

    No Such thing as a Cheap Hobby anymore … I suppose it boils down to one mans Crap .. is another mans Gold :(:rolleyes:
