Hi Martin,

As crazy as it sounds, you probably have some specimens that might
fetch $1k for a 1mg speck on eBay, if the right bidding war erupts.
I've seen pieces go for *insane* prices if the bidding gets spirited.
You have some really rare and exceptional pieces that are
largely-absent from most private collections. I bet you have a few
that would fetch hundreds for a Bessey Speck, so $1000 might not be a
major stretch of the imagination! LOL

Best regards,

MikeG
