Well the question was actually who
would buy one at that price, which I would hope I over estimated anyway, But thanks for the replies all the same guys..
Damn! looks like I'm going to have to Gold leaf my ring now... We don't like fake! (Apparently.)
I'm still interested to see what the dippers come back with. I'm fully expecting them to throw a paddy at dipping MDF, which will be fun.
The good news is that Satin Black rings are available again, and a few Gold ones too.
These are now £20 posted second class.
