    what's the going price for us ellipsoids?

    i've been looking for a used set and didn't really know
    what these are typically selling for...of course,
    the old saying goes that anything is only worth
    what someone is willing to pay for it...

    thanks,

    I'd say a good deal is b/wn a bill and a bill fifty.

              where can you get euro ellips for just a little bit more new? I mean actually in stock.

              Mike's group purchase is at like $400 and that is like $100 less than anyone who has them in stock.

                look on ebay.. they are there all the time for $150-$200. I paid $175 shipped for depo ellipsoids, brand new. the quality is fine, they just don't say hella on them.

                  $150-200 used for 15 years along with all the rock chips and wear that go with it.

                  Depos are absoulte shit in comparison to Hella or Bosch

                      Yes, I have.

                      I do believe Mike Swale has also compared them side by side.

                      They are cheap reproductions, nothing more.

                        they seem fine to me.. in any case, they're a million times better than sealed beams. 8)
