Vintage Sophias x 2

[hanabi]

This is an eBay listing for 2 no Vintage Sophias

Unfortunately the seller has only shown pics of one of them, but that one appears to be a single shot in not bad condition, so it may be worth asking the seller for pics of the other one as well

Starting price is $50 and no reserve, but it's a local pick up only

Oh great, you had to tempt me, eh? New Haven is less than an hour from me.

Literally just a couple of minutes ago, two bidders started a bidding war. There's still five days left on this auction. Last price is $76.00 which seems like it's getting a little steep.

Maybe it's just me, at this point I'm not a fan of single shots. Who knows, after hanging around here for a while, I might be converted into longing for a single shot in any condition at some point but as I mentioned, I'm just not there at this point, LOL!

There's little chance of me ever seeing a single shot for sale here in England, UK

So I am fascinated by them, and all the other 'different' vintages our members in the US have relatively easy access to

i think a single shot is something every one should have the privilege of playing...

i have one its great.. the back is really simple and clean... but playing it is ??? umm "different"

hard to put into words.. puting balls in one at a time does get tiresome..

the pure simplicity of them is great

IMHO of course

Final price 212.50.

Too rich for my blood. My highest bid was $92.00 but there were those two guys bidding the heck out of this.

Like my father always used to say, "There's always another streetcar coming." He used to be a stock broker and sometimes his clients would bemoan losing out on buying a stock for a good price before it went up and he'd give them the "streetcar" anecdote.
