Hi Alvin,

Better sit down before you read this:

There have been four Kaspars on the eBay auction over the last few weeks, three
of which apparently have not been refaced and one refaced by Matson. The
selling prices were as follows:

5/9 Cicero
#11 $547.50

5/30 Cicero
#13 $645.00

5/30 Ann Arbor * Superb
$421.00
5/31 Ann Arbor (no model designated) refaced by Matson $710.00

On the last one, the second high bid was $700 but the bidder may have been
bogus -- s/he has no positive feedback and has received negative feedback for
not following through on a previous high bid. The next bid below that was
$551. If the second-high bid was phony, it was a very expensive prank for the
high bidder (who was, nevertheless apparently willing to pay the price). In
past auctions, it has seemed that refacing almost always reduces the price
people are willing to pay for a Kaspar. In this case, however, it appears to
have had the opposite effect.

Best regards,
Jack Kissinger
St. Louis
