I saw one go for over $500 a few years ago. 'Course myself, I'm a disciple of that old economic principle "Buy high, sell low" (A shirt-tail relation to the carpenter's adage: "Measure once, cut twice".)
I'm still hoping that all my junque will turn out to be some sort of retirement account. At least all the restoring I haven't yet gotten around to will keep me off the streets and out of trouble in my golden years.
