I think that might be because of the box, .... collectors do love boxes. However, that didn't look like the right box at all to me.

Some of the prices being realised at the moment are leaving my flabber somewhat gasted. Along with that Speedia was this Abu — http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ABU-CARDINAL- ... 958wt_1398 — Nice, yes, but £ 230.00 with the postage!

Admittedly I've already sent one back to a different seller from ebay. This one spins for a good 40-50 seconds without taking a run up before batting it. It is so beautiful to look at though! hmmmm.

its one of those things ,i guess its down to what you can live with ,slight wobble not a big problem to operation ,lateral movement is more of a problem ,when playing a fish .the other option is to get it fixed adding to the expense already paid out .speedia's can amble along like a drunken fool (unsteady on its pin and wobbly as it goes) quite happily
