I actually put a bid in on his first listing, the listing ended, he re-listed with a buy now and it sold before I could even search it again - somebody scored! Great seller, doing the same thing as the member here who just sold his Model G - he didn't want to profit on Bjorns work so was only selling to recoup his costs. Impressive!

I did the same thing, but I thought it was a BBOD! :sick:

I am actually the one who landed the BBOD when he decided to list as a BIN.
$495 sounded like a reasonable price to me (FT128 was the serial).

I hope I did not step on any toes! If I did, we can certainly talk as I would feel pretty bad.

Cheers, gents.

There were both. I had the opportunity to purchase both, but I could not get cash lined up quickly enough.

($400 for BBC and $500 for BBOD)

I think the seller was quite fair with his pricing. He simply wanted to regain his initial investment.

I was looking for quite a while and came in at the lucky time. Too bad is was a few hundred short of the pair!

Cheers.
