Rob Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Man, I bought four new pair, (total of eight) of these a couple of years ago from a Mack dealer for $56.00 each pair. I can't imagine they have appreciated that much in that time.The black paint must be a protective shipping overlay for the solid gold base metal.Robhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Mack-truck-Mirror-head...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

That was a "tongue in cheek" type of comment with no application of sense. I could not bring myself to ridicule someone that has not harmed, instigated, or initiated any negativity towards me first.They are astronomically overpriced as they are still readily available from most any Mack Trucks dealer at nearly the same price I paid.I do think that a set either brass, or gold plated would look nice if installed on a "purebred Mack" drivetrain equipt truck. I would leave the script letters chrome, along with the outer band for a nice contrasting touch.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 thats the retail from mack, $180 for one.-montyHi Monty, I'm sure you could purchase them here is the USA, ship them to Oz, and still be under retail there. Thanks for the clarification as I was wondering how that price was obtained.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Stainless were about $20.00 more each. This was a "special buy" until they were gone. I'll check for you tomorrow, and report back.Barry can surely get them also.

Rob Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 I wonder if any of our Aussie friends would be interested in a "group buy" of the bubble back mirrors. The cost as I suspected is considerably less than can be obtained down under although I do not know the shipping amount yet. I'm sure it would be cost advantageous to ship several in a box and have them reshipped once in OZ than individual piece count.I wouldn't mind helping you guys out if you would like.You can contact my via pm if you want to remain private; Or my email is mrcuda4spd@yahoo.com.

Andy Wright Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Great minds think alike, Carl. I just sent a PM to Rob suggesting I run a piece to try to drum up a group. I can think of a few off hand that should be interested and I might dip in as well for "future supply" for that empty spot in my shed...Haven't forgotten your memory stick either :-) Quote Whatever rubs your buddah.

monty Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 HI spotted this pair on ebay today http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sid=p2759.l1259and was wondering if the dude is asking to much?. am getting a bit edgy as i want to gett the last few bits for my rig.Mirrors and a sun visors are the two items that have become the most elusive and potentially the most expensive to track down. or may be i should just hold tight till the group order goes through hope fully. thanks monty Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/4228-wow-didnt-know-these-could-be-worth-so-much/#findComment-22464 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I guess the FREE ones I got with all the spare parts when I bought my truck was a GOOD thing? WOW!I do have a set of plain black ones, since I swapped them out on my truck. Just need to find a nice set of arms to match the mirrors. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
