Hi Steve,

I agree with you all that the present high bid of about $800 is far too high
(I'd see the value of the package rather at $100 but certainly not above $200).

But do you really think that $250 for a working mint board are realistic? I'd
rather see the present value at 500 Euro. If you'd see one at eBay, I'm afraid
bidding anything below that mark would be not sufficient.

The number of collectors has increased during the past months, so I don't
believe that you'll see those low prices soon again.

Best,
Martin
