Gouges you on shipping. Also, look at the feedback.

Other than the fact that he has absolutely no idea what he is selling? Actually, who is the more ignorant? The seller or the person who applied the decal?

[hearsedriver]

Incorrect and upside down decal.(poorly applied)

I don't know this seller, but for over 21,000 feedbacks I only see a few negatives on some very inexpensive items.

As for "gouging" on shipping, really? Take off 15% for eBay and PayPal fees, and assuming he is not dumpster-diving for free, used & dirty packing materials, that leaves about $75 - $85 for shipping an oversize package anywhere in the U.S. And the fees are disclosed up front, so they can be factored into any bid. Properly packed and double-boxed I think the fee is quite fair. It's eBay and PayPal that are doing the gouging.

I recently gave away a number of these horns to another dealer rather than face the dilemma of these economics.

All very interesting. How many of us grew up automatically knowing all of this stuff?

Must be the very rare STRAIGHT version of the cygnet horn.

Well, I could have spotted the problems with that horn before I was ten...

You will be paying approx.. $180.00 for the horn and you will have to refinish it with a new decal or about $200.00 invested. What other horns can you buy , in good shape, for that cost.??? I would shop around. People sometime go overboard on something they do not know too much about and ruin it. Tom B
