	I have seen Paul Jones molds go for a lot of money lately, he retired for those that did not know; but I have never seen any go for this kind of money! And that is a nothing special design too. However, the clean looking mold is going for it. But still! WOW! (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	They can ask whatever, but unless it sells it's only worth the buying price.

	This guy wants this mold real bad ... Bidder Information Bidder: a***a ( 1267Feedback score is 1000 to 4,999) When it hits the final $, I'm going to update my spreadsheet with the PJ molds I have Starting bid price was $100. Original price of the mold was $190 Here's an idea to make some money: Have Accurate Molds clone it and then sell the PJ mold

	If you define genius as the infinite capacity for taking pains, Paul Jones was a genius, all right. He started with SAECO blocks and ground them perfectly square. He would then bore the cavity, check it by casting, and bore it again if it didn’t suit him. A friend went down to Paul’s grind shop to pick up a mould he had ordered, and Paul led him into a room with a pot of molten lead, ladle and hammer handle at the ready. “Let me show you how to use My Mould,” he said, and showed Gary the trick of pushing the bottom edge of the right-hand block while opening the handles so the casting rotated itself out of the cavity. I think PJ will be known as the Harry Pope of mould makers in the future. Looks like the auction price of his moulds is already reflecting that.

	I will have to put my 32 cal spitzer in my will so the kids don't fight over it Just before he stopped making molds, I called to order my mold and he said to send him a check and I would either get a mold in the mail of he would tear up the check. Lucky me when it showed up! Jack

	Two sold on EBay in Jan or Feb both 321 but different weight! One sold for 875.00 and the other for 725.00 had around 60 bids between them! So it appears to be the trend if you want one! They are some of my best investments in this game! Sst

	Absolutely out of their minds. Yes, PJ molds are great. I have had only one. Did not like the design, so sold it. They have turned into a cult following and are now collectors items, almost too expensive to use. Other molds out there are also excellent, (almost) faultless in design and function. Lately I am completely impressed with the BACO molds I have beltfed/arnie

	A cult really who would have thought about that. Now we Jones moulds being priced higher than Pope's? In my experience the B&D's were better than the Jone's by a substantial amount.
