Always welcome, Clive! In fact you found a much better listing than I did. You're right I like that one much better, except for the fact it closes 3 days later and doesn't have the london upgrade, though that's probably of minimal effect (I don't know the rating improvement). I'm fortunate enough to have a brother living in Germany so I can bid on everything there, but he doesn't help me with the German. Just one curious thing about the listing you pointed out, the seller, who appears to be German, has posted the auction only on the UK ebay site, not the German one. And his auction is in German language. To quote a famous rock band, "How Bizarre!"
