I've been watching a lot of CD 742's in the past year. I don't find the price surprising at all. A lot of them have been selling in the $125-200 range, and most have been light aqua/aqua. So not surprised to see this one with a little better colour bring that much.
Not sure what will happen in the next price guide, insulators have been sky rocketing in the past couple of years. Try and buy a piece that lists for $100+ on the eplace for book value or lower, it is tough. With the exception of a few pieces ofcourse, such as the CD113 Braille, you can pick one up well below book price pretty easily it seems. Anything threadless though, hold on for the ride of where it is going to go.
I have probably bid on 5 pieces in the last year and went over book value on all of them and didn't even come close. I am not an avid bidder (like to get my glass close to home) but I do watch the trends, and right now it's a sellers market for sure.
My 2 cents
