    You know what else isn't rare? Reproduction parts. They are not rare (unless it's Eric's sound pad which, okay okay, IS truly a rare item) ... they are reproductions. OE high butterfly is rare, the repops are not. Bosch twin plug distributors are rare, JB Racing distributors are not. Titanium connecting rods are rare, Carillo rods are not. 1969 911S cranks and rods are rare. 2.0L 911S heads are rare. 906 pistons and cylinders are rare.

    A 400mm bakelite steering wheel IS NOT rare. And neither is the reproduction horn button you're trying to sell with it. Trust me, the leather is bad and the chrome ring is wrong. It may be nice, but it sure ain't rare.

    Oftentimes when I see the word "rare" in the description I know to keep scrolling.

    You are far too young to be labeled a Curmudgeon, but your rant is a thing of beauty and very "Curmudgeon like". I, hereby propose that the minimum age for Curmudgeonship be lowered to your age on a "one time" basis.

    Some are.

    How about the widely misused word, 'Mint'? ... or worse, 'Minty'?

    When one of you wears this face you'll be a whole lot more believable.

    If I see another post in For Sale stating the minutes or hours or days something took to sell, I think my face will fall off
    (which might not be a bad thing)

    Why that Mark?

    (yes I already did it... )

    It is just so surprising how fast some parts sell, and sometimes for a huge amout of money...
    The demand on some things is simply amazing!

    Olivier.

    Who the hell knows Oliver? Any high school dropout can figure out how long something took to sell… the fact that it twists my knickers probably puts me in line for official curmudgeon status. I will now stumble back into my cave.
