I was fortunate enough to visit the Omaha beach cemetery where the opening and closing scenes of SPR were filmed. Seems like yesterday but my visit was in 2015...8 years ago 😯

You're better searching for Sold prices, a lot of folk will put up hugely overpriced auctions just to fool the buyer and trends into accepting much lower but still over priced listings (or to keep a listing active they don't have stock for but might in future!).
