Hi All,
Speaking of "delusional"--the seller of this item is--but if he finds a fish, the fish is even more so !
eBay # 291122298049 "Matched set" of "used" sapphire needles for $150.00 !! Bad focus on photo's, but they "look shot" to me ! Ron Rich

Wherever he's from he is certainly in a world of his own.
Sold my 440 yesterday for $450. Admittedly, I didn't re-chrome it, but then it wasn't pitted or scratched, so why would I ?

Anyone interested? Its easy to fix, but this person would not do it so he could make more money, his loss is your gain! A New other no less. Certainly is not used.

Very easy fix.
“Will Work with tune up.”

I'll be generous and say you'd only be paying five hundred quid for three Elvis Presley graphics, but in truth, I reckon it would be a lot more.

But maybe I'm being unkind as, "the price includes the cost of the licence to reproduce and sell the images."

Hi Doghouse,
Since I have no idea how much a "quid" is worth, I sure have no idea about 500 quid ??
Also, I guess he has revised his description, as I see no reference to "reproduction rights" ? ( wonder what that's worth??)

A "quid" is English slang for a pound, but I think you really were aware of that...

Here's an alternative. "A nicker" is old Cockney slang for a pound and "half a nicker" would have been ten shillings, or in today's money 50p.

Hmm.. I thought it a bit pony, but probably worth more than one.
Explanation for our US cousins.
To call something "a bit pony" is Cockney rhyming slang, short for pony and trap, meaning C**p.
A "pony" in monitory terms, is twenty-five quid.
A "monkey" is £500.
Isn't English a hard language?
