And, I wonder who estimated a dump at $200k ? it would have to be pretty good to get $100k. Last year, I watch a few auction results, and dumps, not in high grade (barely recognizable, in fact) went for $10k ~ $13k. It seems to me that not many dumps exist in higher grades, whereas the dollars are at least recognizable. Report this Post to the Staff

They got a good run on the ABC, there was a story on them selling at the end of one of the 7PM news programs, and on the radio as well. Report this Post to the Staff
