Round two completed today, and prices seemed much more reasonable. Manuals all levelled off around the $200 mark, the spindle tool sold at $98 (if I had been at the computer it may have gone higher), and the convoy tail lamp for $114. The only thing that I thought was a bit high was the 19 set front cage set at $226 and the front grab handle at $80.73.
I think seeing these items go for the prices they did, we have to thank Brian for having the foresight to have saved all the items he had, and making them available to us over the years. Anyone who thinks his prices (and for that matter, most of the ebay prices) are out of line only has to compare the prices for similar parts on today's vehicles, then remind ourselves that they still make those. That we can find parts that are nearing 70 years old in almost new condition is nothing short of a miracle.
