$445 for 4, maybe. Like that last auction that closed a day or two ago where the guy put a mirror up to the two tubes, making it look like there were four to a casual buyer. That would be quite an ugly surprise when a box of two showed up for the price of four. On 2011 Jun 26, at 00:14 ,

Hello, Strange, I emailed him about it as well. He did mention that it was put in the mirror so that someone could see both sides. I thought that was strange, since they were laying down. Meaning, you would only see a reflection of the same side. So, maybe it wasn't done on purpose,
