Now $113.

Yes, a little steep for something which can be bought from a flea market table for as little as $15. Or replaced outright with new glass version for about $30 (for a time period either version was used.)

But we're talking Ebay here. Rich man's marketplace?

Not THIS rich man that much.

And not that rich - yet. Or possibly EVER.

Price way too high !!!!!

These are both the later style. The early 1928 has a boss at the outlet gas line connection. Some of the later cast iron bowls did not have a spring at the bottom. I have both styles, restored , and am asking $ 30.00 plus shipping.

No one is getting ripped off bidding too high on ebay. If the bidder is that dumb, tough cr#p and good for the seller.

Do you have or know of a pix you can bring to the board? I have three of these between two Model As and can't say I've seen anything distinctive.

But then again I MAY BE RICH

Finally.

Kidding?

Thanks Ron. I see another Ebay cast iron sediment bulb that has the "reinforcement" around the gasoline outlet.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1928-31-Mode...1c8d61&vxp=mtr

He has 6 days and 22 hours to win his lottery.

Well, good luck.

Meanwhile, back to my common fare.

If two buyers bid up to 200.00 , How can you say they were ripped off?

Re "got good value for his money"
Not at all. If someone(s) wants to get in a bidding war, THAT is not the sellers or Ebay fault. Live or on line bidding it amount to the same thing, some people don't know when to quit.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would pay that kind of Money for a cast iron filter bowl or even two bowls. They must live in remote areas, never go to swap meets, never been on Ford Barn or any National web sites to see what is for sale or wanted?

The great things about invitations is that you don't have to accept them.

Obviously the buyer thought it was worth it. Great. I had a young cousin who went to a farm auction when he and his dad were looking for a piece of equipment. When he came home with a seriously overpriced piece, his dad was furious. His logic.... "the other guy thought it was worth almost as much as I did".

I agree no gun to the head but have you ever met a person that was not quite normal or a little demented or senile or old age had caught up with them ? I suggest to sell to a person in this circumstance for many times what an item is worth is lacking in integrity and moral fibre !

So, because an item sold for more than you think it is worth, you conclude that the two bidders were demented and senile, and the seller had no integrity or morals?
