No....... If you pay that sort of money you're either a) pissed b) thick c) not paying.  £400 - £700 NOS with tickets I can just about understand, but any more....... If they pay up though, fair enough and a good Xmas will be had  ;D

I guess for every person who is struggling with money, there are still plenty who have cash to spend on hobbies :)....and we go back to the old adage that something is worth only as much as a person is willing to pay...But now people will assume £1200 is a good starting price for a Ripper...Mine is defo worth at least £1200 if anyone wants it :P:P:P:P

Hardly anyone will assume that is universally priced although I agree with your initial points.

I bought a pair about 10 years ago before the prices went BoNkErS, luckily.

I haven't even got many decent pictures of them i've just realised.
