<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3524530, member: 76086"]This is often caused by a cut and paste concept. The first dealer prices it very high, the others who couldn't find others listed copied the price of the first. Just because it is listed at one price doesn't mean it will sell at that price. And as Dough points out, maybe one or two sold at high prices but specialized collectors for those types now have it and there isnt anyone left to pay the high price.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have to disagree. With all due respect to those who collect them, the so-called 'Widows Mite' types are more over-priced than anything else. Incredibly common and mostly in a poor state of preservation, they should retail around $1-5 on a good day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
