Hi Bucket... well you wrote exactly what Im always saying... 'something is only worth what someone will pay'. All I know is this was a small part of a mans collection - he was a collector for 60yrs, lived in country SA... so, the way I see it is its better these pieces are with someone who appreciates what they are, as opposed to trays stashed around my house. I think I will just leave it up to those interested to decide the value on ebay - low starting price, no reserve. Cheers for tips on postage, another member here has also given me a few suggestions on packing and postage - much appreciated. Thanks again for replying...
