Just found this on eBay:

Sadly not much left except perhaps the keyboards, some woodwork, and a few pipes. It's listed as "New," "Antique" and "Cheap to clear" with an asking price of £5,000.
It all seems rather strange, given the accompanying pictures. They do admit, further down, that "There are a few bits missing/broken!"
According to the listing, there have been two offers!
Looks like it is missing most of the pipes
Some obvious bounty hunter thinks that its worth £ 5k, I highly doubt it. It was previously on at £ 50k !

And it's listed as in "New" condition!
The previous time this appeared on ebay it was for £50,000 as mentioned above. But I took the hump about it being advertised as "new" so complained to ebay. Absolutely nothing happened. I've noticed before that, if you report a big seller for what are obvious transgressions of ebay's rules, they don't bother. But they will come down on small sellers like a ton of bricks (that's happened to me!).

Someone is having a laugh - £5K for that!! The owner is chancing his arm i think. Scrap value £50 max.
I wonder what the 2 bids are.

We rarely pay more than £100 for an organ, and have often paid nothing, they are just glad to get rid of it by that point!!
