+1 Robatsu!

Those who will criticize you for the deal you got are upset because they didn't get such a deal. I found a trumpet in an antique mall and paid $150.00 knowing it was worth $700 to $1,200 dollars. In this information age, anyone can research the value of the items they own, and are responsible for the pricing of such items when they sell. I sold another trumpet for well below market value to purchase my 1972 Raleigh, for which I paid a premium price. Some may think I was taken on the one-owner original 1972 ($1,200), but I am happy, the seller is happy, therefore it is no one else's concern. Enjoy your find!!!!
