Sorry - didn't mean to scotch your deal, and I'm not saying they're worth $50. More precisely, I had a set (still mounted to the Diacompe levers) that I took off a Raleigh GP. I put them on eBay with no reeserve and a $50 BIN (just fishin'), and someone actually wanted them bad enough to pay up.

Probably a one-time thing - sure surprised the heck out of me!

On the other side of the coin, I put the red capped "C" chrome wheel nuts up with no reserve and no BIN, and they only fetched 1 bid and $5.
