Then we bought Saabs. Lasted 30 years.Once we advertised a Vanden Plas 1100 or 1300 at what we thought was a reasonable price.We had about one hundred people begging to buy it. They wanted to pay more to get it.But strictly first come first served, at the advertised price.I told the second potential buyer he could have it if the first didn't buy it. But it sold instantly.One just cannot predict exactly what something is worth.There are trade guides.One top guide listed an Ilford Witness at £14. They were selling for £2,000. Now £6,000?(Currently Ilford Witnesses are $10,000 average to $23,000 mint).</blockquote>
