Norris Spiers Infill Smoothing Plane on eBay. How high will it get?

and how hi are you going to go to buy it (L,m,a,o,)

If you look at the bidding history, it looks like there are 2 people who really want it.

Oh, man, fellas don't mention Ebay. I've dropped a small fortune there. I hadn't been there in 6 months and and after you posted this I'm there as we speak. I've bought and sold there but mostly bought. It can be habit forming.

Haha, I sometimes use ebay as a form of entertainment. The other day I started watching a block of Brazilian Rosewood 14" square X around 3" thick. The bidding started at like $14. I was like holy crap, maybe nobody else will see this and I can snag it up fairly cheap. Well obviously some other people saw it too. It sold for $188 and some change. It was still fun to watch. You get those folks that wait till there is 20 seconds left and jump in there with a high bid so you don't have time to bid again,haha. Needless to say, I am easily amused.

Brand new, unused, unopened it says in the description.

Reading below, it says a client used it to smooth a small board and then returned it…

Seems a little steep to me for a modern version of the original…

The way I read it, it isn't a Norris Spiers, but a copy.

Come on it's a plane! What make it worth that kind of money? Does it really plane n times better than your LV or LN plane? Some people must have more money than they know what to do with…I'll gladly sell them any of my tools for 3 or 4 times what I paid for them.

Mark, I will send it to you for a trial run for a week if I win it…

We all place value on different things…

The new owners of a colt (out of one of my mares) turned down $350,000 just a couple of weeks ago…

If you go to the makers website you will see the same plane for $950
