Definitely at least twice the price of what I'd be willing to pay for it.
They/Them for me, please.

how about the price on this wrrs mechanical bell? It sure does need restoration, but is $149.99 really worth it for a bell that needs work?

Definitely, especially since its rusty, missing the base, and because you’d need lock cutters...Nascar Fan007 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:30 amhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-WESTER ... 0667.m2042

That guy looks like he's sat at the bottom of a lake for a while, IMHO. $150 might not be a bad price for a WRRS in good shape, but that guy would be worth about half of that or so, at best, IMHO. Especially if the equipment inside is in unknown condition.

Re: This price seems a little too high...
This Teardrop bell is on the market for around $449, which kinda seems a little overpriced IMO, shipping will cost you up to $161, overall you'd be paying $610 for this overall, Eek!

$120 seems a bit high for a bell that has a broken latch and a missing base, IMO.

Also, $375 is way too much for a WRRS bell without a base and being unrestored.

$275 for a wch mechanical bell without a base in my opinion seems to be too much. It does appear to be in working order based on how newish the insides are.

Tbh the newer insides almost deter me, I heard from a maintainer that they warp really badly. It is still high tho.Nascar Fan007 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 11:59 pm$275 for a wch mechanical bell without a base in my opinion seems to be too much.
