Default EBAY crazy!!!

Watching se ventilator ac on ebay, starts at $100, figure I'd go up to 140, I know I can get it from lakeshore hd new for 195. Well the bidding just ended at $214 plus shipping! I can't believe how people can pay more for a used item than a new one costs. By the way I'm still looking for a ventilator but not above retail.

Those are the people who don't research products and prices,and some people just get caught up on the bidding frenzy.

Any of your stage 1 A/C's will work just as good.
Any of them can only take in so much air.

I don't think that there is much difference between them, other than the name(s), and shapes.

I've had my Arlen Ness "Big Sucker" on now for 3 + years and never had any issues with it.

I had a big sucker on previous bike and liked it but on the new bike ,2013 sg I believe the fbw servo will stick out and I am not fond of that look of the big sucker would be on. The kn 3930 which keeps the stock air cleaner cover also doesn't look that great to me. I'll keep looking or just decide to spend the money and buy a new one, which is still cheaper that EBAY prices !!

I bid on that one, quit at $120. I couldn't believe how high it went either. It's used for chrissake. Keep me in mind if you find one, of course after you get yours.

I've been watching some Willie G skull accessories for my RK and almost all of it goes for the price you can buy new at the dealership. It amazes me I used to buy the majority of my dirt bike parts off of ebay about 5 or 6 years ago but now it's hard to beat buying new from Rocky Mountain MC. People obviously don't research what they are buying.
