Oops, should have looked first!  Right now there are 3 on ebay: £378 & 
£202 buy it now, and £100 starting bid - already bidded with 7 days to 
go.  Admittedly the high priced ones are perfect condition with case.  
In completed listings there's a faulty one in poor cosmetic condition 
that sold for £100.

So maybe £50 is far too cheap!  But really I'd be happy with 
£100+postage rather than go through the hassle of an ebay listing.  
After all it didn't cost anything in the first place.  Maybe someone 
with more time than me wants to get a new slider cap, give it a polish 
and try and get top price for it :)
