Hi Jim - actually, I did just that. The first time he ran it with a starting
bid of $37 + shipping and it closed with no bids . I contacted him thinking
he might consider direct sale for a bit less. He responded back with the
same starting bid price and went on to say "I will honor his price until
2/25" or something like that. Noticed over the weekend he has relisted it
with an even higher starting bid. I am not in any hurry; will wait and keep
my ears open for a pair of these more reasonably priced.

Hi Mike
I agree the price seems a little high but why not drop the guy an email
letting him know your interest. I doubt this is an easy item to find. It's
true you don't see the back but if you want to retain value it might be a
good idea to get while the getting is good as they say. I have no interest
in this. Just sharing my experience that this stuff is getting harder and
harder to find. Good luck!

Hi Jim - thanks for that. I was hoping to beat that pricing. If thats
the
best I could do, I think I would just repair my broken back plates.
After
all, you dont see them when they are hung ; )

Remembered this was on ebay and might help you out with one backplate.
