I suppose the absurdity of this $200 mirror comes to light when you
price used mirrors. I bought a nice used one from SS for $30 a few
years back. $200 for a mirror?! No thanks!
Maybe the guy who paid $200 on ebay got caught up in the thrill of the
chase, and didn't check his alternatives.
Caveat emptor!
