I found the listing by i) logging out of Ebay, and ii) opening up Ebay.com. Even so, it still took quite some searching to find it.

looked everywhere but no sign of it - link please or seller. OK just saw post and thanks. I think seller will be waiting a long time as few with this sort of money around. I'd like a few to add to my lot but thats about it.

I think he should have divided this into two lots, splitting the Lesney from the non-Lesney.

Asking price of US$65,000, but what do we think the actual value is? Would anyone like to hazard a guess, ideally backed up by a calculation along the lines of xx rollers with roofs at £yyy each etc. etc.
