I passed on that bike a 1-2 years ago. It sold for, I believe $240. I could have easily won the auction, but didn't see the need. I'm not a big purple fan but also I had just bought two Americans (one of which I'll be finishing up in the next week or two, the other a NOS and much prettier turquoise M16), so didn't really want to bid on a third.
