Post by: Barry on July 22, 2011, 01:13:34 pm: The Break went up above £1700 and the sale price was £1620 so the highest bid must have been retracted. A good indication of shill bidding. I entered into some communication with the seller whi was keen to find out how much I thought it would be worth - it might be a coincidence that the figures I suggested were in that range. There is another very low km Acoma Break in France if anyone is interested, for less money but it looks a bit worse due to storage.
