[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 257065, member: 55"]I'm sure that is often true, and certainly an item is only worth what a bidder will freely pay for it, regardless of "book value." But my only actual experience with Beswick is as mentioned, that my Mom's 1958 Beswick cow showed a book value of $800, and I sold it on ebay for $825 to a very careful collector in England - he even asked me to examine it under blacklight for possible repairs. He'd outbid 26 others to get it, and appeared ecstatic to have it. I sure packed it carefully for the journey from the US to the UK![/QUOTE]
