Canadian Blake Transmitter, the seller has no idea what he has!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/181024469112  ( yet another dead link with no image posted )

The last one of these that I am aware of went for $4000.  It was well-marked however.  Since this one is Canadian and not US, and it's missing a couple pieces (I think) I'll be conservative: $2200

Actually should be twocv as K1W1 was over by $7. Even though he was closer twocv was still below the final price. I think that is how it works unless no one is lower.

Isn't it reversed for Canadian auctions ???

Oh you're right!

It was in Canadian $ I think and sold for $767 US which is $770 Canadian according to the ebaY calculator. This could have been real intersting if K1W1 won by the US$ but twocvbloke won by CDN$!

In any event, I thing twocvbloke has won acording to past rules. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

And twocv is neither in Canada or the US.  How would it translate in terms of Pounds?
