That's funny stuff. What makes it even funnier is that it is a 2H7 TCI. While still multiple times over priced, it would seam more realistic if it was a 4R0 or even the elusive XJ box.'81 XS1100 SH

He didnt have any snide remarks though about the offer like other sellers have had for me in the past

If you look here... http://www.benefiscal.co.uk/partinfo...H7-82305-10-00... his price doesn't look so bad (878 pounds is what, about $1K?).
But I'll agree, anybody who's likely to need a TCI probably paid less for the whole bike, so unless he finds a really anal restorer he's probably not going to get his price.

Ebay makes their money and always have by people listing items by what the seller thinks it is worth and not by what they think someone will pay for it in these "buy it now" auctions and "reserved listing" autions. And when the item don't sell for what they think it's worth, they still have to pay the listing fees, reserve price fees, and relisting fees. I've watched it over and over and over for the last 10 yrs on ebay in all the catagories and come to the conclusion that this is where most of ebay's revenue comes from. Any completed sales fees/profits are just a bonus! Icing on the cake!
