More proof, if we need it, that there is more than one born every minute.

eBay Insanity

It should be worth £18.50 but not £185, the seller was insane. I don't think he could ever find a buyer who would be crazy enough to cough out that sort of money.

There's nothing wrong with the sellers marbles, it's the 20 bidders who drove the price up that need certifying. I paid £17 for mine in about 1986/7 and it's still going strong.

Agree with you there! I think I paid a similar price to you, at around the same time, for my Goldring electronic stylus cleaner. This operates in a similar manner to the Audio Technica, but is not hand held. Apart from a couple of battery changes , it too is going strong.

I think that's what you call a nuclear snipe. It wouldn't surprise me if it got re-listed due to buyers remorse...

Yep, me to. I bought an AT637 back in the late 80's and it has proved to be one of the best accessories I've ever bought and it's still going strong. I wouldn't pay £185 now for a new replacement but on the otherhand, considering how good it really is, if you have a 'big wad', maybe you'd think it money well spent

I will stick mine on tomorrow

Nope. One off madness. I have had mine since the early 90's and still going strong.

Auctions in the real world are bad enough for madness, but the virtual world of E-Bay seems to regularly generate stark raving madness.

I have the box for mine...mint. Lots of bids......

Sometimes i sit back & think to myself that these mint box items are bought to be stored away..

The trick with Flea bay is to give as much bull out as you can like this.This sets worth below half this
