Garth, this isn't the right group to complain to about folks not buying your Triomphe parts. I have nothing against the Triomphe or Victory parts, but they are not what traditionally would be discussed (or traded) here.
They are even later than C-Record and you know what controversy gets stirred up when that topic comes up! As I recall, the Triomphe group came out in 1986 or so. I'm also not surprised they aren't garnering the bids you might have expected when you can buy better quality parts for equally low prices. At that price point, what's a couple of bucks? Good luck.

Apparently, ebayers have the same bias that Classic Rendezvous listmembers have. I have been selling off oodles of my collectable small parts recently and everything has sold at fair to good prices but hardly any one is watching or bidding on my Triumph Campy stuff. Technically, this iteration of Campy is geometrically and mechanically traditional Campy but it's perceived value is worthless. Dale has twisted the entire population to his way of thinking. I think he owes me at least the $10 I was asking to clear this Triumph Front Derailleur out of my house. At least the Triumph rear sold for $15. Oh well, I guess I don't like low end, post classic equipment either.
