"remember you are the experts!! We acquire the items and sell them at a fair price. "

Let me get this straight, before I plant my face in my hands again. You acquired these....jewels....one of which has rusted and lost the plating, the other of which some yokel decided, hey, let's just twist the locking tab clean off....nobody will know...they're buying JEWELS from us on evilbait.....

One rusted, almost guarantee what you be replacing is in better shape, the other unmountable, so what are ya gonna do with that?

This is what it's supposed to look like:

BTW, I checked the specialized dealer who has the photo shown....those are three dollars apiece brand new.
The evilbait clown wants $5.50 for a broken and a rusted one...for fifty cents more you get shiny new ones.
Rest assured someone will buy them off the bait, if for no other reason than to brag they "won" something.

i never see any benefit in selling $ 5.00 items. look through the guys feed back. People blast him over a sale of $3.00 items. i'd pitch it all in the trash. This spring i tossed a 50 gallon size can of baseball cards out. Most of them show a value of $1.50-2.00 on eBay. To much of a hassle to list them. I pulled about a dozen good cards out sold them, and tossed the rest.
I spend entirely too many hours a day tying my shoes
