Been looking for a cool garage clock for a while. When I saw this on eBay with a few seconds left I made an impulse buy. Did I get taken for a ride on this? Don't know much about it yet.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/140737106290...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1287wt_1376

The bonus of this is a justification for more SO purchases.

I got the exact same clock off of ebay... bit of drama with mine that worked out in my favor

when i got it... the neon tube was broken... about a half inch at the bottom

the seller thought i was trying to scam him... wanted me to make a claim with usps... fortunately his pics showed it was broken before it was shipped.... when i asked him to blow his pic up.. you could see it

he didn't want it back ... too much to ship... credited me the whole purchase!

I paid ... something like 125 incl shipping

Not only getting the clock for free was a great deal... I replaced the neon at a neon shop and instead of the blue neon the clock originally had... i had them put red neon in... to go with the snapon logo... neon cost me about $100! (no wonder he gave the clock to me for free)

anyway...its a sweet clock.... enjoy... you got it for a good price..... they made them some 10-15 years ago... so it's a keeper

His house is only 45 mins from me. Shipping to me is only $11.00.

That is about the price I have seen them go for. The high being 220 at Christmastime and the lowest I have ever seen was 79 and change. Hope it arrives in good shape, looks like a ways to go. A nice clock indeed.

Glad to here it was actually made by SO in some form or another. The seller said it was in new packaging so hopefully it makes it to me okay. Being in Canada you get used to the inflated shipping - still cheaper than buying most things retail even if shipping is a little high. I"ll post some pics of it in the shop once I get it.
