This price seems a little too high...

Anyone else see that gong-less Hybrid that got up over $3,000 on eBay back in June?

That’s practically the amount I paid for my HALL crossing bell and SIGN!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324679881899?h ... SwGqRgyjPQ Sure I’ll pay 500+ for a measly aluminum WRRS bell without a base!

Appears they got wise and dropped it to $300 + shipping.

Still not the best, but much better than it was.

These bells aren't THAT rare...

Here's a $1,875.00 safetran hybrid bell going up for sale. Price was originally at $2,500.00 but the seller put a 25% off on it. What a major rip off, especially since the seller claims it's "untested". With the price this bell is going for, you can almost buy a complete signal for that much money. Or even a cheap car.

Want to say that was the same Hybrid that was listed without a gong back in June as an auction and reached bids of over $3,000 before the seller took it down. As a side note, the gong they've stuck it with doesn't appear to be an actual Safetran gong.

This price seems a little too high... just a little.

So many things wrong with this listing.

1. The auction price is $3,550 + $20 for shipping, which is way too much for a WCH e-bell, even brand new!
2. It's listed as "vintage". I don't think that bell is vintage.
3. It's also listed as untested, meaning you could be paying $3,550 for an e-bell that doesn't even work.

Safetran M bell up for sale without any of its internal components, rain shield, and gong.

Idk if I would even pay $65.00 for this "empty case" of a bell. Not sure if the seller bought this bell for parts or what.

Update. I did manage to find some of that bell's components up for sale, but not all of them such as the gong and the rain shield.

The striker component up for sale. Hammer appears to be in good shape.

The cast bracket is also up for sale as well.

And lastly, the bell terminal that is used to determine how fast you want the bell to ring.

I've noticed the seller has the individual inner components going for the same price of $25.00 while the "empty case" of the bell is going for $65.00. Personally, I think this bell is not worth buying especially if you have to buy all of the components just to get the bell to work again.

literally everything on ebay is overpriced nowadays. for some reason hybrids are incredibly expensive, upwards of $400 to $500. facebook marketplace is just much better tbh
