I would buy it for the listed price in its current state: "ready to be repaired"

Also good: Es existiert kein Firmenlogo im Muschelinnenraum, auch keine Befestigungsspuren eines solchen, daher gehen wir von einem komplett in Handarbeit entstandenen Unikat aus.
"There is no label inside the body and no traces of one removed, so we assume it's a completely hand-built custom job"

...How do they know it's a Calace then?

And: Die Bilder sprechen für sich!
"The pics speak for themselves!"

...Oh yes.
Btw. it ships to Germany only, so you'll have to make do with your love for European humor. ;)

Yes, that one is good too: the power of logical reasoning.:))
