Do you believe in coincidences?

Here we have a listing for a late model HMV102 in red. So what, I hear you say.
Now read the negative feedback from a disgruntled buyer who thought he had won, you guessed it, a late red 102.
Make of this what you will.

The current listing has a reserve. Perhaps the seller was unhappy with the selling price the first time, made up a story to cancel the sale, then relisted it?

No coincidence. I saw this and laughed. Not reserved at £67, hey? He's having a laugh. Have you seen the state of it? He should have been very grateful for £205. I wouldn't give him £67 for it.

I must admit that I prefer my early red HMV 102 with the metal motor board.

The later ones just don't seem to be put together as well and seem cheaper to me.
