Maybe it's because I've got a couple nice examples, or perhaps it's due to their current market price...but my desire to acquire more is non-existent. I can't tell you the last time I followed a 6105 auction, or attempted to seek one out. I'm not saying I wouldn't jump on a fantastic deal, but I can't say I'd pay even close to current market price for one these days. All that being said, I'd never consider selling mine...they are definitely not going anywhere.

I will continue to look for one since I have none. I will be very picky about what I buy and try to get one in excellent condition.

If you stopped buying everything else that tickled your fancy, you'd have one by now. laugh1.gif |

They're simply too expensive to buy, but don't bring enough to sell. My recent bargain was just that - a bargain. Not a repeatable experience for most people. But anyway, it seems to me that the asking price for a -811x diver is pinned between $500 to about $800 at the absolute top (not counting an NOS example or a proof / proof), but people won't touch one that's anywhere north of $600. I mean, Tim's 6105 was fantastic, really beautiful, and it didn't move at $750. I'm still waiting for them to really jump in price but it keeps not happening.

They definitely are in a unique place for most collectors, myself included. This one that I had for sale, could have moved...but I changed my mind. I actually had an offer of $900, from someone who wanted it badly. They factored in the fact that it visited Jack @ IWW, that was important to them I guess. I just couldn't bring myself to let it go, and that was when I just posted it for trade for a bit.  |

I won't pay what they're fetching now , but I'll always keep my eyes peeled for a nice one. |

I've received my 7th 6105 (6 x -811x, 1 x -8009) yesterday, so I guess I should stay away from any auction site for a while now... a176 |
