Actually there are two quite different Spitfire "gulp valves" currently on
Ebay, both offered by the same seller (bid currently at $16 and $20 with no
reserve). In the description of the item you mentioned, the seller says
"Price on box is marked 179.95. What does that mean? Nothing."
Imagine that! An apparently candid comment by an Ebay seller and an item
that's not [yet] horribly overbid . . . of course there's still time for
that.
