Default Reflecting on mirrors

Rob makes a lot of sense about the value of having the original mirrors, as a salient restoration touch, regardless of price. I'm needing a set myself, and have been tracking the Argentinian mirror auctions, but not bidding, seeing how high the prices were going. But as I always tell people, things on EBay (or any auction) are worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for them.

If the seller has a crate of mirrors, it would certainly be more "gentlemanly" of him to put them on multiple quantity "dutch auction" but as he seems to be getting the big bucks by putting them out one at a time with his sales pitch, so be it.

I suppose I will be bidding one of these days, if he keeps listing them - 'cause it sure would be nice to have a genuine set.

As for Canadian MV enthusiasts being cheapskates ... that's a whooole other topic.
