Saw a couple in a case in an antique store recently. Much better condition and they were asking $1200 and $1400 or something close.

It may be a case of someone pricing it so high nobody will buy it.

I remember seeing a huge Budweiser display for sale at a flea market in the early 80s. It was about an 8 foot long clear plastic tube with a model of the Bud wagon and Clydesdales inside, and it was in an immaculate condition. The guy wanted $2000 for it. I asked him about the price and he told me that his wife had forced him to bring it to sell. He'd priced it that high so that nobody would buy it, and he could look his wife in the eye and tell her he'd tried to sell it. I asked him what he'd do if somebody had the $2000 - he said he'd take the money and buy 3 others... :lol:
