His feedback of 7 doesn't garner a whole lot of confidence. Would you bid 40K with somebody who had so thin a track record?

If I was seriously interested, I'd ask him to email a pic of the tin with today's newspaper.

I wouldn't be bidding 40K on anything...so it is irrelevant...for me!

Personally, I think it looks like somebody who may have talked to several auction houses (he didn't say which ones, so there's no telling whether the estimates he was given were "good" or not), and decided to sell it himself because he didn't want to pay a percentage to the auction house. He's staked out a high-end price so that, in his mind, there's no risk for him. He's not taking into account all the detractors that have been listed that have nothing to do with the item itself and everything to do with how he presents it and himself. People just don't realize how much effort goes into presenting their items in a favorable manner, and how much of an effect that has on the final price. He hasn't used his eBay account in 10 years, the pics look to have been taken with an old camera phone, and the shipping charges may seem petty but go along with a mindset of milking it for all its worth.
My guess is, assuming the final bid doesn't reach his reserve, we'll be seeing this tin again at whatever auction house he talked to that has the lowest seller's commission (hopefully with better photos)

You know I thought this ended- I didn't realize it still has 8 days to go. And it already has 63 bids, with one bidder alone having bid 44 times. I guess he wants it.

Or doesn't really want to sell it!

It looks like he canceled a lot of bids and now there are only 10 bids.
