    I think $1200 is the "acceptable" going rate, gotta love Gumtree though!
    I like the guy who says something along the lines of "no messing about, I am prepared to pay $10 for round 1966 50 cent pieces", I think most of us would be prepared to pay $10 for them!

    No F$%&ing way...'1Ozer'! for $2300!

    My 'personal' Fiat high (short term) is that price divided by 10!

    Honestly can someone suggest what one of these things is worth?
