High sums on ebay for Classic Banjo items

[Jody Stecher]

Did anyone else notice (or bid) that Cammeyer's "My Adventuresome Banjo" was on auction on eBay and a few hours ago it went for £80.78?  Yow!  Well, it *was* signed by the author and that might explain the high price. I bid twice but nowhere close to that territory. I already have his signature, stamped into the heel of a banjo anyway. And the day before a CE Professional went for £908.55 on an eBay auction.   A great banjo no doubt but that's a lotta moolah.  Does this mean that the musical value of English banjos is at last being recognized and reflected in monetary value?
