Have bought a few choice pieces when they came up in exceptional condition and or a good price.

I do find it entertaining when the drill down becomes fanatical and justification for the $$$ ratchets up as it often does.

I can usually find a good enough one for my use, the Strawberry was an excellent example, all of it was usable and will do just fine despite having a few bits with the chrome gone, they all are functional and work just fine for my meager use.
