    Isn't the Tri shield supposed to be on the outside part if the mirror not the inside.

    Nope. Both were the same, just different mounting bases.

    I say $250. to $300 at most. Huge scratch on the back side and a fair bit of pitting.

    Yea, thing is pretty nasty, eh;). Blowing up the pics it seems to be an accurate description.
    Probably about right for one in that condition given what the last few have gone for.

    No, with his luck he doesn’t need to stock them. If he wants one he’ll just go to the local PullaPart and magically it’ll be there, in an NOS box, in the trunk of a Hyundai. Next to the cooler of cold beer and a set of Stage II heads.

    Ryans-GSX Have fun, life is short.

    Just my thoughts on this. Probably a good time to sell off because when the new repop comes out it will hurt the value of used mirrors. NOS ones will always stay high $$$ but used ones bring a lot of money right now.

    Something is rotten in Denmark. 21 bids and 14 of those by one bidder at $5.00 each bid. Can you say "shill."

    I could be wrong, but I believe what you're seeing is the "auto-bid" history. On any eBay auction, I believe how it works is that it shows what the next bid must be incrementally. If an item is @ $100 and it says "bid $102.50 or more" and you bid $150, if no one else has bid, you're bid will now be $102.50 and it'll say "bid $105." If someone else bids $105, they would automatically be out bid by you and you're bid would now be $107.50. They could keep doing this to find out where you are or, I believe (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) even if they bid $145, it would show all of your "auto-bids" up to $147.50. That's why after all the $5 increments you're referring to, someone else besides the bidder doing the increments (automatically) is the new high bidder.

    I don't bid on anything with "protected bidders" bidding. That's absolutely a tip you are being shill bid. There's no other reason for that at all. All id's are unreadable now anyways. I've been on ebay a long time both selling and bidding. The bidders who bump bump bump bump bump never win anything, they just bump up the price. I don't think it's really automatic, it's manual bumping.

    You may be right. Along the top of the page it says automatic bids not shown, but there's a link to the right where you can "show automatic bids" so in this case (2 cases on this particular auction), I think someone did manually incrementally bid to see where the highest bidder was and if you click on show automatic bids and then look @ the time stamps you can figure out the exact history. Ive bought & sold on there for a long time but been a while since I looked @ how all that works.

    I sold something on there many years ago (an old tin advertising sign) that I'd expected to go for maybe $1500 and the high bid was close to $4k. I guess the high bidder put a number in where he knew he'd get it and someone did exactly what you said and the buyer accused me of rigging it, which I hadn't, and refused to pay. I was po'd that he'd accuse me of something I didn't do and filed negative feedback against him (back when sellers could). About a year later he contacted me apologizing & begging for me to relent because nobody would sell to him. I don't think I could retract the feedback but somehow could neutralise it which I did (I'm a pretty nice person) and of course I'd relisted the part & got what I thought I would.

    I know a bunch of 70 fans and almost every one of them is looking for a RH tri shield mirror, either to add or upgrade. I traded an NOS one to someone a couple of years ago for the right stage 1 carb AND perfect 70 fan shroud for my 70 project. I was happy since I bought 2 of them at a Buick dealer in the 1980s for next to nothing and still have one left for that car. He was happy because he needed one and where do you find them? The nice originals and NOS ones will still be worth the coin - repros are seldom right but will be better than pitted originals. I figure this has to be a $500+ part, right?
