Default Para wings, stellar sales price

These para wings just sold on ebay for £2,297.00

Can someone explain why they are so incredibly valuable?

I have no idea Luc - sorry - but the bidding history makes for interesting reading, I suspect the under bidder got a shock at being outbid on that one!

I saw these Luc and thought they were an unusual looking locally made wing, possibly from Force 136 related, but certainly didn't expect these to go for much above 250 - 300 quid.

That price is ridiculous.

Yes looked at them , thought Indian made para, certainly crazy amount...two bidders wanted to get them and put silly amounts on them...certainly not worth that in my opinion.

Default How can you tell the winning bidder details please?

Hi pal
How can one tell the name of the bidders when the history uses asterixes instead of letters and numbers?
Regards
Jon

You can recognise the feedback score against the known accounts. It's easy to see the pattern and if you know the ID then it's easy to cross reference.
