I believe I just witnessed an original Lucas battery suitable for a TR6 go
for over $1,100 in an auction on eBay. I suppose it is dry charged so it
may
last a few years once charged, but WHY? If anyone can answer that question
I
have an original tar top Lucas, never filled, suitable for the small
Triumphs
ready for auction.
This auction, and the buyer, have been discussed at length on the 6-pack
forum.
This particular buyer has a history of paying enormous, foolish prices for
supposedly NOS items - from sellers in or not far from CT - many from sellers
with ebay ids following a format of (color)TR6.
I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but in this case its hard not to
suspect a shill bidding scheme where a buyer runs up the price in collusion with
a seller who then sends a "2nd chance" offer to the runner up bidders.
Cheers,
