What D means is that he bid, and the SELLER retracted it and ended the auction. I emailed the seller to see what the deal was he and didn't reply.

Maybe not in a broken state, but at 1-C or 1-D will regularly fetch something in the $150 range if it's in working order.

In my experience, working heads have run about $250 (especially if refurbed) and $150 if not working or in unknown condition. Gib can refurb most of them for $100.
