Why would someone pay real prices for a repop?

I'd sure be interested to learn how the seller made that air cleaner, as several others have tried with marginal success.

With a selling price of $3200, one has to think he'll build another ????????

The seller disclosed exactly what it is, so I don't know what the thumbs down are all about.... If bidders actually ran it up that high and the sale is legit, good for him, as he was very clear in what was being bid on.

After taking a look I'm not sure if he has used all original items for the base as stated. Would like to see this one up close.

Whoever this person is seems to be pretty much upfront to me in his discription. If you need a part like this and this person has a part you need and you are willing to pay.........makes everyone happy in my eyes! Not saying the buyer does not have more money than brains but that has been running rampant in this hobby for about 10 years now.

And no doubt many kudos to the man for admitting its not original.

There's a member here who has talked with the seller. For the most part, a good job,....... with some minor, yet very important issues which SHOULD hold the price down (IMO). He is very close to a good reproduction, but just not quite 'there'.
