One thing I've seen with the Bay is that when something unique shows up or sells for a wild price then often soon thereafter another one will show up and will usually sell for less. There is hope.
Yep, I see this all the time myself on other stuff besides bicycles. Pickers watch closely, see some non-descript but "rare" item go high. Two weeks later, there are dozens of these rare items for sale.
That was a beautiful frame, and I am kind of surprised it did not go for even more. Seller has impeccable feedback, and shipping charge was reasonable. Definitely over my bike budget limit regardless.
