We actually turned down the $856 bid. Just sold it for $1250 privately. It isn't a conventional 12X, itis a12F model and the lenses were in near perfect condition. Just the blue lens in that condition regulalrly sells for almost $600 these days.
Well aware of what type of bar it was and stand by my statement. That new sale price is even more ridiculous. I hate seeing the collector market turning into a rich man's game where now we aren't even honoring bids...
