Belfast sinks and their true value?

Quick question really, there's one offered on ebay locally to me, with no bids at £5, I know nobody who's bought one, but I certainly I'd like one to start off some succulents!
Does anyone have one, with photos for inspiration and more importantly what is a fair offer for me to make this person?
I think some of you may have gotten theirs for free or very little, but well, I've had no such joy!

I've seen them fetch £35+ at local auctions - depending on style and condition etc.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
This seems in pretty decent nick but quite small.
O Lady has one sweet pea, and Woody has a few - not sure what thread the pix are on though.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
think OH wants it for herbs and the such... typical!
Would I get much luck at a restoration yard place? I've never been to one, and I've always wanted to, I like the idea of unusual planters at the back of the garden.
Hi Sweetpea this is Orchid Lady's. She got hers for quite a bargan.
The price seems to vary quite a lot. Where I am they start at about £40
I think maybe I should let the auction play out, hopefully not too many people are looking for things like this at this time of year.
I'm so lucky, these were here when I bought the house.
I've seen them go for up to £100, depending on size.

I paid £15 for mine on ebay but I think I got lucky...
