Agree, period example. Probably looks much better with proper photography. John

Cheers,Martin.

Thanks guys, the photos are bad, it has a very nice fire quilted look. He is asking $500 for it, is that a standard price to pay?

It seems reasonable to me..


Cheers,Martin.

Reasonable but not a bargain. There is one in similiar condition for 400 eur for sale on GCA at the moment.
Cheers,

I agree that 450-500 USD is about right for this example. Again, I think it might photograph better than the above the images.

When we are talking a difference of $50 or so, no big deal if you underpay or overpay a bit. It is just a hobby and as long as you are not grossly out of line in how much you pay, should be OK. On resale, you will not make any money on it, so it is not a flip purchase for sure.
