A 3.25" Gordon in original box sold for £42.99 on flea-bay last June.

In normal "used" condition, you'd be talking about £15-£20.

3.5" are more common, and therefore a bit cheaper. If anyone has a 3.125" send me a pm.

Regards,

Doc

Mine is a 3 1/4 not the more common 3 1/2 . and I think It might have be me who bought the one on fleabay last june if I remember rightly I paid about £45 inc postage . There has been a few tatty ones over the last couple of months on fleabay and they have fetched approx £35 .
I would sell mine if I got the right offer pm me if anybody is interested .
