robocorpse Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 No, it looks like a shill, the bidder with 84 feedback has taken it right the way up and has 100% bid activity with the seller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 So the black and white Hohner went for £298, which is about right, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
