I think the answer to your last question is; fewer than some months ago http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7599436970&rd=1&sspagen ame=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Ended at £335. Reserve not met.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7599443383&rd=1&sspagen ame=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Ended at £112. With a "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale." Reserve not met. Both are from the same seller, with 100% positive feedback score.
