Hello All,

    I see the same seller has another one of these gas
caps as item # 7563593824  presently selling for about
$300.  I have compared bidder lists from the previous
auction and two of the bidders are the same,  but the
rest are unique.  Not sure if the darned thing is
really made of gold or what..  Wonder how many of
these the guy has??

    The closed item number is  7560234025  if you want
to compare for yourself...Now I think I need two of
these if they are that popular....

                Chris
