I don't know, seemed like your basic C-record era aero-style Campagnolo seatpost to me. I even checked mine against pics on Velobase to make sure I had the model and era correct.
Considering I owned and used said seatpost for about a decade before deciding I didn't need it and then polished it up on the new bench buffer my daughter gave me for Christmas, needless to say, I was surprised.
Actually, I do have a fluted Nuovo Super Record single bolt seatpost in 27.2. Not a 'Rino' post.
What makes these so valuable to you? They seem to be all over the place for $100-135 or so...
I am by no means siding with the buyer, because there were photos and they saw them. However, polishing a post can make them look a little more rounded out and although it is beautiful you can kind of tell it isn't factory original. Was this clear to the buyer?
For the record I went through a heavy polishing phase and have nothing against it. I love polished components.
