I was interested in this item but at the starting bid of $39.95 I thought that's a bit rich as they are $28 at Karcraft. Some people have more money than car :shock:

Happens a lot. People just don't check price or availability.

BTW.. and for example, is a NOS Cooper/Deluxe rear gearbox (remote) mount, still in its Mackay Rubber box (~1970) with p/no, worth any more than a brand new mount from Karcraft?

Maybe I should eBay it and watch the feeding frenzy?? :lol:
