Re: This price seems a little too high...
Yea, I'd say that is too high. It almost looks like that bell is partly painted green!

Re: This price seems a little too high...
Yea, it's definitely too high. I want to say they run for around $200 brand new, if not less than that.
They/Them for me, please.

Could be a Type 1. For stuff no longer in production, value definitely goes up especially if it is sparse.

Re: This price seems a little too high...
In my opinion this is another overpriced WCH bell http://www.ebay.com/itm/WC-HAYES-WESTER ... Sw8lpZMxY2
You get free shipping, but personally I don't like the way the listing was done. The description says the bell is in "very nice used condition" but doesn't actually say if it works. There is only one photograph and they haven't even bothered to open up the bell and take pictures of the insides, so what are you really buying?
I've seen listings in the past where the seller has included a video link showing the bell in operation, I think that's a great idea!

225 bucks for a WRRS bell, you've got to be out of your mind!

Now this is plain ridiculous, 957 bucks for a vintage EMD Antique Steam Locomotive Engine Bronze Bell. That is way too overpriced.

Re: This price seems a little too high...
Actually, that ain't too bad, especially since it's a mini-bell. You can find traffic lights on eBay that are more expensive than that.NathanFromEngland wrote:225 bucks for a WRRS bell, you've got to be out of your mind!![]()

Re: This price seems a little too high...
It's a WRRS mini bell. Those are different from the regular WRRS bells. Also, they're pretty high up there on the rarity scale as well.NathanFromEngland wrote:I'm sorry, this is what i really need to say because now i'm confused.freebrickproductions wrote:Actually, that ain't too bad, especially since it's a mini-bell.
