There are still people with money to burn out there:
Parker 51 SE
Can't recall seeing a 51 SE reach this sort of price on Ebay before - and the auction hasn't finished yet! Sure wish I was the seller.

Hi,
The fact that it is Black will normally acount for a slightly higher price, the Vista Blue generally goes for less (I happen to like my Vista Blue one though), having said this the most I can recall one going for in recent months was probably about £125.
The buyer seems to have bought a Vista Blue one a few days before for $280, so must have an idea of the likely value I wonder if he is desperate to own both colours for some reason, certainly overpaid by a very, very long way, but hey his (or her money), so I suppose it's their choice if the choose to overpay.
Hope it doesn't turn out to be one with the cracked barrels.
