I think you're being overly critical.

The builder has done an excellent job of carving this from a solid piece of old pine. :P

Well done. If it was the one listed on fleabay, I too was watching it and thought it would go for more than gbp70, so held off putting in a bid.
I will just have to wait for another one to come up.

That's the one. It's not exactly a bargain as such, but at least I'm not kicking myself for missing it anymore.

aaah, you were watching the one i was in the not too distant past? Silly money. Pity i need one of these for a bit of colour, I'm begrudging the cost now though. I shall just have to look to its 1949 replacement instead.

I wanted to see what that one would make. I missed the original issue at £75, but picked up one on eBay for £68. This latest one, however, was sheer madness and makes that kit almost too valuable to be built.

... on the border of getting too expensive to open and therefore potentially Schrodinger's Kit?

How much is a kit box worth? Is it empty? Or not empty?
