I've read the item, I can read a little bit German.
>From what I've read there was that the seller will only
ship in Germany. If you choose to buy, you may have to
pick it up. He said he was in the Ruhrgebiet
(or something like that) Which is near the border with the Netherlands.
So thats a 2.5 hour drive from Amsterdam I guess.

About 5 hours.. And the highest bid at the moment is EUR 361,-
(about fl 750,- or US $330?)
I didn't undersand the bidding rules  ubt I guess you could also try to
have a look at an english ebay site... (didn't see an english
translation on
the german ebay site)

HTH,
