[R-390] Re: Fowler languishing at $7877 on eBay

[David Freeman]

I thought the more interesting result was auction #190137319072
That was the (Collins Fowler) EAC R-390A that sold for $3,450, almost half what the Fowler brought. Didn't see anyone comment on the ending price, but I was surprised. Isn't that some kind of record?
