I like silly ebay people.

This vendor is one of my favorites when it comes to ridiculous prices:

Only with RPO MB2 (muffler bearing, 2ea). Dual exhaust, not for single exhaust.

Internet pricing can be so dynamic, gas tanks notwithstanding.

Wouldn't ever buy a used fuel tank. The Quanta's are duplicates of the factory tank, so far as I can tell. They don't cost much.

Crazy prices, but the guy has 198 sales.

I find as soon as I give away, sell, or throw something out, the next thing I know, I need it. It doesn't matter if I've held on to whatever it is for 20 years or 5 minutes, once it's gone, I need it.
