Don Coatney Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Tim; How much of a finders fee are you getting on these sales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Don..if the guys here get a good deal that is what it is all about..it is a buy it now auction so I am not cutting anyone out of a deal...and by the way...I noticed they are all sold now...guy ought to at least buy me a coffee...

Don Coatney Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 ...guy ought to at least buy me a coffee... That is my point. Posting a multiple unit buy it now does everyone here a favor as long as they strike when the iron is hot. Posting a single item normal (as in not a buy it now) auction hurts the guy who found the item on his own and placed a snipe or proxy bid. But you already know this.

central52 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'm curious. What is the special advantage of these swan neck mirrors. How are they attached that are different from the regular mirrors? Are they more secure and don't rattle around? I wouldn't mind replacing mine if I know there is a definite upgrade.

Hey Tim, not boo-birding these mirrors, as they are a nice lookin specimen. And hey there was a time when Japan did not make the higehest quality products, so maybe there is hope for China yet. Here is a pic of the type of clip on with set-screws, smoke and mirrors I am using, from Roberts. I kinda like the swan necks better, and may order a pair.

Plymouthy Adams Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 should have known to keep my mouth shut in the first place...I apologize to the forum for trying to help out a few members..and Don..we thought the Boo birds were dead and gone...for the most part they are so unhappy they cannot even seem to flock together..

_shel_ny Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 don't understand your response here Tim. I am sure that your post of these mirrors is appreciated. As far as the boo birds being dead and gone, were you not a charter member in that club............................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 come on..even you can do better than that..for those that don't have about 450 dollars for a set of original swan necks if they did become available are probably very happy with these so why should others mock their purchase..to see it any other way is to have your head buried in the sand..me think your membership is still quite in effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller seems to be OK, but sometimes its a "get what you pay for situation", so again my question to be answered by those making the purchase is, are you happy with the set? That being said, I am done with this thread:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 other than posting the e-bay link I don't have a dog in this fight and for the life of me I cannot see how anyone who did not buy a set could have either..but I just checked..if you really that inquiring..one set left..buy them and know first hand...

55 Fargo Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 What seems to be the trouble here, I certainly always appreciate info on items such as these mirrors Tim. I mentioned they look like a nice looking specimens, and would have ordered a set, but have the clip-ons I have now. I may still order them, as they look better than what I have currently using. If my posts to this thread, were seen to be negative, which I certianly did not intend, I will refrain from opinion in the future. IMHO, these mirrors look like a fine purchase, and I would beleive our readers appreciated the Ebay link, and the heads up........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossback44 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'll jump in here on the question about quality. For the money, I really think these mirrors are one of the best values I have found on eBay. I have a set on my '32 Desoto convertible coupe which has won awards at nearly every car show that I've entered it in, including the Portland Roadster Show, the Forest Grove Concours d'Elegance and Goodguys. Pretty good for less than $30 a pair. I'm happy enough with my first set to have bought a second set for my '47 Plymouth convertible project. Convertibles, of course, have no place to hang the clip-on type mirrors so these work really well. I really like the graceful swan neck design too. If you buy a set, make sure that you set the passenger mirror as far forward as you can because the mirror adjustment range is a little limited. For the record, I am not the seller nor do I even know him/her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
