'Cos I reckon this joker is doing all right in the 'I can't believe you want that much' category.

Sheesh, he even keeps the box that has zip to do with the obviously used item.

There is a couple of UK sellers that use BMC paper or boxes in all their ads to try and make the stuff look new and genuine.
Or the tosser that uses the word "works" in all his ads no matter what he is selling.

crickey, i have a half-a-dozen of them , so i spose i`m sitting on $1200 worth of horn buttons

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Horn pushes always attract good money as far as i've seen..

I refused to shell out $100+ so I just got a repro austin one for 25 quid..

Is that a couple of chips in the side of the horn button?

Yep, but the box you don't get is pristine and probably nothing to do with the second hand part.

Its funny how some things listed as genuine factory attract premium prices above and beyond the real price and others things that you find that are genuine attract no interest at all , example , I found a genuine Smiths rear demister listed on Ebay Aust but the location was actually NZ , no one bid on it and I got it for very little , Original box and packaging, completely genuine , yet one listed on Ebay UK listed as BMC Smiths Rally Demister that was obviously put together with various bits sold for 390 pounds , go figure
