back in the days (I kept the mails), I placed max bid at £1030 and was outbid during the last 5seconds… I made it reach $1050 but did not overbid the other bidder which made me loose the auction.
indeed the conversion £ -> € is evolving but I don’t think we have ever seen this figurine on ebay ever since, placing the price at 1180€. This price is far overestimated as I know others (including myself) finallly managed to acquire this figurine for a far lesser but unofficial price (still hundreds of euros, be certain of that) …but the “market price” , so far remains unchanged.
