Whilst researching the above topic I also came across this discussion on the variants of Canberra yokes if anyone is interested.

I ditto Smiths comments above, most times I don’t log in when browsing and haven’t felt the compulsion to write comments every time during the 12 or so occasions I have read this thread since Saturday.

‘Auction ended because the item was lost or broken’. That’s a bit odd…

What normally happens is once the eBay item is publicised here it generates a lot of interest and the prices go up or alternatively the seller is contacted privately, a deal mutual to both parties is done behind closed doors and the item is removed from sale. It’s easy to remove items from eBay all you have to is pick a reason from a pre populated drop down. I’m not suggesting that this has happened in this case but what I am pointing out is that removing the item may not seem so odd after appearing on this thread as it can give listings a boost generating a lot of interest from other colectors who haven’t initially come across the listing.

As stated above eBay is probably your best bet to get a good price on this especially if you are willing to post world wide as it will make it more acessable to collectors including the Swiss. From a sellers point of view this will be good as it should reach a decent price, from a collectors point of view eBay can be not so good as it can drive prices up. Good luck on selling your grip! And let us know what price it achieved out of interest.

Don’t know the guy, neither do I have any inside information.

However quite often those under investigation receive legal advise not to say anything or make public statements until after investigations have been completed by the authorities. Just a possible explanation as to the silence?
