Following the current trend for extreme prices regarding micro items, check out the price on this Beep Beep record! A case of sunstroke perhaps: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/The-Beep-Beep-Song-bubble-car-isetta-heinkel_W0QQitemZ220400686327QQihZ012QQcategoryZ25602QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

!!!!! ?????

In their day the cars were about £300 and a 7" single was about 50p.  £300 x 33.3 = £ 10,000 a familiar price for bubble    50p x 33.3 =£15.10

Therefore this  record might be expected to be about £10-£20 if the value has gone up similarly to a bubble car, but this is another 10 fold increase, good luck to him !
