Yeah... most the action on those auctions doesn't happen until like the last 5 minutes. Then the price will rocket up.

That's a pretty good deal like I said though. Most people won't ship reflectors. Let alone for under $10.

Good luck... The listing says there is some corrosion on the reflectors. I would try and contact the seller to get some actual pictures of them before buying them though.

i know exactly what you mean.


ive used chemicals to scrub off rust and oxydation from showerheads sinks and various metals in bathrooms and kitchens...what makes me nervous is that using a micro steel wire brush on those puppies would render them useless by turning them from rusty mirrors...to tin foil looking ...things.


my question is if these fancy expensive reflectors are made of aluminum....how does it rust...i was under the impression that aluminum doesnt rust...it oxydates
