Bad economy?????

Dave Kostansek had a twin-h linkage on Ebay sell for $455! How bad could things be if people are willing to pay that much for just the linkage? Dave has a great reputation for selling quality parts, but that seems high even even if it was NOS. Am I way off base on this?

How high did you bid ?

I'm still amazed that no one has reproduced this item.

I am just happy that I do not need one. I do not remember what I paid for my Twin-H but I know it was a lot less than what they sell for today..:eek:

IIRC, Bill A has them for $40 a set

Dave didnt set the price. The nuts who bid up to the $455.00 did. In all my dealings with Dave he has been fair and sguare.

Buyer must have really wanted the item. Ah, the beauty of an auction....

Good point - it's a fairly simple set up, just get the bends correct. Shouldn't take long to put a set out. If I were still in the Coast Guard with access to the tools, I could do that.

That's exactly right. It's the dummy on the other end that paid an exorbitant amount for just the linkage. I get dumb too, occasionally and have, on a number of occasions paid WAY too much for Hudson parts. But not the stratospheric range that someone paid for linkage.

Think I Will Raise My Price To 50.00 Bill A.
