This item has been relisted, as it did not reach the sellers "reserve price" last time round a couple of weeks ago. I admit the retail avalues around £100 mark, but they only reached £50 ish.

I already have a set of these and they are not the best, they are quite fragile and brittle as i only noticed last week the ships wheel is now in at least 5 pieces!
i think the white metal was  heated too hot, too long  when melted ready to pour and crystalized the material.

RRP of £105? Way too steep if you ask me, better buying the fittings separately I think. Dave.  :o

I really do not see the point of a reserve price, just put what you want it to start from.. If they want say £80 put £80 and stop all the messing  %%
