That must be one of the Uber rare gold plated, with full stop ones, compared to the gold plated non full stop ones.  :RHD

Is it possibly a mispricing? Some of his other stuff looks positively cheap by comparison.

I messaged the seller to point out the club could sell one for £4. He replied his is genuine and the clubs are repro hence his price. If anyone is stupid enough to pay £50 then good luck to him I guess.

That's hilarious. I immediately jumped to a more charitable mispricing conclusion, but he's actually just a scalping grifter! May his seals all perish, his swivels dry up and his bolts not budge.

Hmm... wonder what would happen if someone asked "is this OEM?"; and his response would be "yes"; and then he is asked "how do you know, can you provide a provenance?"

There's all sorts of muppets on ebay putting things up for absurd B.I.N. prices, this stuff won't ever sell.. but it gives other idiots the idea that stuff is "worth" that kind of money, then they list more insanely priced items likewise. People use ebay as a price guide unfortunately
