Seems a bit pricey. I've seen nice clean boxed examples go for £50ish | ||

Yikes...it's not like that is a rare beast (at least from what is visible)...wonder why it got ANY bids

It would have been quite funny to get a couple of people to shill bid it up into the millions of pounds mark.

i bid £15 as my max, but thats all its worth in my opinion. | ||

I think they mean the burner but that is in bad shape. I agree with Rob a bid of 15 or so pounds would be fine for it but not much more. |

For some reason it quite often happens with wrecks. They pull big money.
No idea why though

About the bidding up of "junk", I have seen new in box engines go cheaper than two parts for the whole engine. |

I will be interested to see if it can be brought back to life.

They can always be fixed, but sometimes it doesn't seem worth it. |
