I saw this and had to pass it on
I saw this on E-bay and had to pass it on. It is so ridiculous. $601 for a Robart air valve.

I have to wonder if anyone ever actually falls for that and buys something for an outrageous price. I saw a Saito .120 four stroke engine on Ebay for $950.00, I don't know if anyone ever bought it but I would be amazed if they did. I read on another site that some Ebay stores will do that as a place holder (doesn't make sense to me) until they get the actual merchandise and then they post a reasonable price. Who knows. Seems to me that anyone who has been in the hobby long enough to know what Robarts are would know better than that.

I think they meant $60 which is still a rip-off. Electrics is the only way to make your wheels disappear, gear doors shut, and canopy open/close. Does anybody even use air anymore?

I asked an ebay seller why his item was way way more than the one exactly like it listed just below his and his explanation was "If it's out of stock it's cheaper to leave it listed and raise the price way up than it is to relist the item when he gets more in stock." I've never sold anything on ebay to know how it all works, but that's what I was told.

One of the worst examples of E-Pay stupidity was someone paying for a kit, twice the price one can pay for it brand new. It was a Sig trainer if I remember. I shook my head in wonder at how someone would be that stupid. They must have the brain the size of a grain of sand.
By the way, said kit was still in production.
