Has anyone got any idea why this old cigar box is worth so much ? It sold on eBay UK this week for £123. That's almost $160. I know that cigar boxes can be scarce in the UK but.......
It's a decent size (14.5" x 13" x 3") and it's old, with nice patina, but does anyone know why this had such value, or was it just 2 bidders who really wanted it.
I've included a pic below and a link to the eBay page.

Thanks, Pick.
That explains it. I figured that while one person may put a silly-high bid on an item they really wanted, it was unlikely that 2 would use the same tactic on one item.
