Varney sold O for a minute. Better get it as Varney O is rare.

Here's a picture from the listing. He wants $225. Is that too much?

Itsa handsome piece, but what would you do with it, and would you be able to resell it?

I'd pay 175-200 tops.

Here is one that sold on eBay for well less than $200. I think $225 is a bit steep myself...

The seller's photos are really bad though. Does not always help with the sale. This one appears to be mostly diecast...
