Besides someone just needing one of these badly, can anyone tell me why this specific enamel cup went for twice the usual going rate? I see nothing unusual about it. What am I missing? :wacko:

I find it difficult to believe how little interest this event has generated ... :huh:

 

People just don't seem to visit the Reference Section of the Forum very often.

Absurd price. I can't believe people will pay so much more for the blue-ish enamel. I wonder if the buyer even paid...

 

Looks like they left feedback

Small pi$$ing match between 2 buyers, with two big bidders coming in at the end. What's the average going rate for these cups?

Looked at some eBay comps, and saw the black cups selling in the $200 range, and the blue in the $150 range. Purchased a full canteen set (cover, canteen, cup) with black enamel canteen a couple years ago. Have always wanted the enamel cup to go with it, but don't know if I can justify spending $200, let alone $500.
