Hmmmm - $660 dollars for smiths guages...:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mini-Smith-Gauges-for-1961-1970_W0QQitemZ4616363704QQcategoryZ102561QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I recently bought the very same guage(temp) with sender for $195 incl postage - cant see 2 being woth $660. Maybe the fellow bought them from England( I made that mistake once and cost me more in duty than the item itself...)

Hooroo

Where are you getting $660 from? The starting bid is 99c and there doesn't appear to be a reserve. Perhaps the ad has been changed after it was put at $660 as a mistake.

There is something shonky going on here -

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Smith-Gauges-Water-temp-Oil-pressure-Mini_W0QQitemZ4616619569QQcategoryZ32072QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The starting price is now $600 and a Buy it Now of $680!!

Avoid this like the plague - must be made of gold or something - wonder if it makes coffee too??

Very suss - this is the third time the ad has changed in 36 hours!!!

Hooroo
