MH on Ebay??

[LanginJoe]

There is this guy on Ebay that is selling MH retros pretty cheap, but they look like they might be as cheap as they are. Can anyone tell me what they think about these? Here is the link: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZ360summer360QQssPageNameZADMEQ3aBQ3aFSELQ3aUSQ3a2
Thanks

You get what you pay for

Reading his descriptions, they are used/refurbished units with chromed reflectors. Chrome pits fairly fast around salt spray, so I'd be leery of the reflectors.

Oh yeah I didn't even think about that, but do you think everything else is ok?

 

[billsreef]

It's possible that everything else is ok, wouldn't really be able to tell without either talking to people that have brought from him or see it the stuff first hand.

Ok, Thanks a lot for your help. I'll let you know if I decide to get it or not and how it is.
