See now, that's got good detail for a Zeno, at a fair price. I think the dealers that currently stock these are equating rarity with market value....
You done for the year?? Lazy bum. :rolleyes:
Nabataeans just don't come up at auction very often. None of the European houses have had any lately. CNG had a handful over a few auctions...
