I had forgotten about that one. A German collector friend of mine bought that
one (it was mostly empty), and proceded to try and fill it with old windows &
doors. As Mike can attest to, you can still find old LEGO in Europe. In fact
there are people who are right now travelling throughout Germany looking for
old LEGO at the remaining small town toy stores. I say "remaining" because
these small family owned businesses are closing down as the owners retire (or
die off). They can't compete with the big box stores (TRU, etc....). Back in
the 80's I used to search all the little towns looking for toy stores. I was
so picky at looking for old stuff, that I ignored "recent" stuff back in the
'80s such as the Yellow Castle sets!!!
So as Mike said, #214 1-10 has never been on US Ebay. And a couple of
others.... #717 ('61-'62 version), #725 ('61-'62 version), #325.

| I know one that has never been on American ebay: #214 Dealer Window & Door Box. There was one on German ebay a while ago, though, and it went for a decent amount of money.
