Hi all, well I remeber the prices of some stuff from eBay when I first joined, MIMB NOS Campagnolo SL road pedals, 80-90, I bet you cannot do that now, the same for Campagnolo SR rear deraileur. I have seen some obsene prices paid by japanese collectors for items I would have liked, but I quess they might turn up elseware.
   Its amazing some of the prices you see people selling Campagnolo NR parts for, just as an instance, if you shop around you can find what you want at a cheaper price, but is getting harder to do, eBay does seem to set the retail price for items these days.
   Two big gripes about eBay is the amount of time you see the word RARE used on commonise itemms, and the other is how many NON campagnolo items are on the search word Campagnolo buy title only, well thats all for now......regards wayne davidson Invercargill New Zealand
