    Anyway I cane across one that I thought was prettty funny so thought I'd share.

    Condition ? Well, look for yourself.

    Funnily enough ... no bids

    I LOVE the last line of the description too.

    The thing that I always wonder about is the description of some "rare" or "only one in captivity" part with a price several times that of the same, genuine part that you can still get from the original supply chain.

    Worse still is when buyers go into a bidding war to win the auction!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I have seen the same or worse with HK Monaros and they usually sell. People but them for the Vin Tags - say no more.
