NOTE - we were the winners of this auction!!
And here is the story
Even though this had a little wear to the gold, we placed the bid of $19.99 - and we know now that was pretty stupid and dumb!!
... because the next day we saw the Buy-it-Now auction for an identical coloured swan which is detailed near the top of this page - this one is in excellant condition and the price was only $18.95 - and we bought it while this auction was still going on
... so we were hoping that someone would outbid us - but no such luck!!
We will probably list this swan on Ebay - and hope to get our money back
... so stay tuned!!
