Part number M31957. Price when new: 1/3/6. That equates to $2.35. By my reckoning, an inflation rate like that makes my Manual Air-Chief (45 Guineas when new, or $94.50) worth $12,305.10, and my Nasco Warmaride heater (24/15/0, or $49.50) worth $6,445.53. Neither of them are NOS, so any offer over $2000 for either of them will be considered  The bloke in Vic who makes the repro Nasco Filguards could probably do a line in these. Obviously there's enough demand in the market if this one started at $19.99 and is now at $306.00. It's little wonder Ebay is killing swap meets if there are people willing to shell out crazy ducats like that. cheers RET |

Trev, You're right, great if your the seller. I'm out in the garage right now with an old Coke can and a small hammer trying to make a number plate frame with a Holden script on it. What a gold mine!!! And by the way RET, I have an automatic AWA radio. ALLLLLLRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIGHT.  By your reckoning I'm going to sell it on eBay and buy Rawanda. Always wanted to own a small African country. Gotta love a nude black african  Craig. |

Hey all
I wonder how many more of these will come out of the woodwork now.....
Looks like over $300 might be a bit consevative, I'd put money on it breaking $400!!
Catch you all later!

I've just realised that 1/3/6 is the price per pair. So that makes my Air-Chief and Warmaride worth double the price I previously quoted. So $2,000 each is a bargain.
Especially now that the license plate is at $370 (4.30pm) and still has a couple of hours to run.
cheers

Hey Craig, I gotta say..... this thread is the most amusing I have read for a while!!! We started out discussing alloy number plate surrounds and you took us to a small African state to perv on naked tribeswomen That's GOLD!! Good work Mate. Luv it. Emu |

OK, so Rawanda is gone, as my radio has also doubled in price. Now I'm looking at Somalia. Lots of guns I know, but even more nude black africans. WOOOOHOOOOOOO. And Emu, you're welcome for holidays anytime. Do you own a gun? |

Nice suggestion Craig, but as a large, flightless bird..... the thought of a country filled with black dudes with spears is a little disconcerting! I don't wanna get eaten..... at least not in that context! |

You don't want Rwanda. Rwanda is way too f-ed up, and Somalia is not much better. Now Burundi, on the other hand.... havagoodweegend, especially if you find a NOS plate frame kicking around your parts bin... |

Thanks RET, sounds like good advice. But do Burundians wear clothes And for Emu, are large flightless birds a delicacy there? |

Kiwi,
Your timing's impeccable. NSW Club meeting on the 9th, club run prolly 21st or 28th.
Oh, and there's 15 minutes before that auction closes, and it's cracked $400. Unbelievable.

Kiwi: If you want to come around my place I suppose I could find time to beat you up  The auction for that thing has just ended at $400.70 WTF? Mind you, a bit of a cruise through the winner's (in every sense of the word) previously won items suggests he doesn't mind slappin' down the bling bling when it comes to stuff he wants: EH Radio blanking plate: $212 ( link) Could they possibly be worth that much? Surely most EHs came with one of these, since radios were accessories? Mine certainly did, and I didn't pay $400 for the whole car.... EH Bonnet Strip: $189.50 ( link) Dunno, but you never see die-cast FE/FC stuff for that sort of money. "A fool and his money are soon partying..." cheers RET |

Trev,
There's little doubt that your FC is worth more broken up n sold 4 bits. Unfortunately some people have realised this and make a living off it. Thankfully, that's not what most of us r about.
I felt guilty having a donor vehicle for "Hilda". Thank God for Sarge who has grabbed the donor and is going the full resto! He has given my conscience a break.
