I'm not unsympathetic to your point Tom; yesterday when I called the seller to get the info in my post, it was pointed out to him that $300 was the average price for a 15G dud. His response was what you read. Even though it's only about 6 or 7 miles from where I live, I have never been to the site, and so got myself invited there today for a personal and behind-the-scenes tour to see firsthand how the volunteers are turning a history-rich former army base into a -- hopefully -- first-class museum. John, the seller, noted that the Marconi Hotel you mentioned is in a state of dilapidated disrepair. It should be an interesting couple of hours. I'll take my camera.
