A set of 1980's Stuart 10V castings recently sold on ebay for £151.11p,

You can buy a new set for £73.11 + VAT ?

Cast Iron is better when it's properly seasoned.

Thirty-odd years is about right.

That's a hefty premium for well-seasoned castings. perhaps two people really wanted to machine the forged crankshaft?

I've got a set of those somewhere from the 1980s, perhaps I should put them on EBay.

All that's needed now is work out where I put them for safe keeping!

Happens at all auctions, about 15yrs ago we had an estate auction for a friend, one of the lots was a set of taps and dies, new unused, the sold for $NZ 300, they were available in Christchurch (NZ) for $NZ249.50, and a few other things went the same way, some to the same vendor. There were some bigger items that bought good prices too, the guy was a collector of Caterpillar machines, such as a Highway Patrol road grader, D2 Dozer, and others.
