The headset sold for $224! About 4 months ago, after losing several high flying bids for the same part, I finally scored a NOS SR headset for about $140 after 4 months of tracking. Many of these parts, particularly NOS, seem to come in waves. Dry spell for a months and then several offered.

The one part I just saw today was SR/NR headset bearing retainers NOS. I don't know everyone's experience on this part, but I haven't seen one for awhile. It is located at: http://ebay.com/<blah>

It will be interesting to see how high this gets bid up. Close is April 13. Location is Belgium.
