<p>[QUOTE="Jason Pferdeort, post: 689130, member: 5630"]The dealer who verified the mark on the box tried to explain the $125,000 hinged piece realized price as "2 wealthy, determined individuals who got carried away." He is pushing to buy it from me but he said if I was talking 6 figures that I was being unrealistic. He never said 5 figures was unrealistic! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> He has pushed me twice to state a reasonable price and he would buy on the spot. I wish he would have given me a clue as to what is reasonable - but he wouldn't say anything about its value. I told him in times like these I do not move in haste. Shoot - I spent five years working on IDing the box (granted only here and there - but I never gave up on it) I'm not going to sell it without some thorough research. If it is covetable enough maybe selling it at auction would be best. Maybe I'd get lucky and there would be 2 wealthy, determined people to get carried away bidding![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
