Title says all. Can't afford to blow $24 on it, for I really need two, not one. The inevitable double shipping costs will only put me in the poorhouse.

Don, I'm not telling you to do anything. If these were two dinged up examples, I'd probably get them. Someone is going to have a daily driver out there that they'll prefer not to risk mint ones on, and I happen to prescribe to that belief.

Furthermore, I try to save where I can. Not all of us can afford to have perfect trailer queens and have unlimited budgets, but it doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the hobby from a more frugal perspective.

Last I heard, people who do not allow others to partake in a hobby because of frugality are called elitists. I might add that they are generally the downfall of any one given hobby (Need an example? Model railroading).

Well, I was just poking some fun at the dinged up rings.

Had some on ebay - several years ago.

Everybody wants 10 pictures to see the smallest nicks, they all wanted mint ones.

Hey just an FYI

I don't have any trailer queens

All my cars are projects

Now I see where you're coming from - the eBay nag buyers again?

Trust me, try selling vintage road bicycle components. That's infinitely worse. You'll get the fires of hell even if you sell a perfect NOS part - someone will hang you via eBay's protection system by claiming that the part is missing some nut or bolt - which it never had.

I always default to worst-possible description: "Driver quality. Has nicks. See photos. Sold as-is."

Nags get blocked from bidding.

P.S.: Bought it anyway. $5 + shipping.

If anyone has any correct, "not so perfect" 15" trim rings - I need some!

There was a survivor '70 Boss 351 at the last Ft. Lauderdale Auctions America with them. Car was a wreck, but the 15" rings and caps were passable. How utterly frustrating!
