Super Freak
About three years ago my wife was cleaning my office and knocked my FOTR Argonath Bookends off the shelf and they shattered.
I was distraught.
Every now and then I'd look on ebay and be dismayed at the prices they were reaching.
Last night whilst doing an Ebay trawl I found them. The seller had not listed the Argonath and just listed as 'Fellowship of the Ring'. Checking the photos the argonath were still secured to the box. With 2 hours still to go they were at the start price of £2.50.
Two hours later I checked back to see if they had been spotted...no bids.
With a minute to go I stuck in a bid of £15.00 and hoped for the best.
In the last seconds of the auction a flurry of bids pushed it up to £4.70..
An excellent price to pay for these works of art.
Sometime, patience IS a virtue.
