Last week I had a bidder with a rating of -1. That did worry me, I must admit. Then after a day or so he got some feed back, so his rating was boosted to zero. He was outbid in the end. -- Scott A Edinburgh, Scotland. (URL) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

It surprises me too. But you should remember that the boxes for this set are very flimsy. Very few of these that I have seen can be described "mint". So perhaps it is worth it... if you need a box.
