ebay NOS insanity

This first one has to be the WTF example of all time. Ebay item # 160227423681 it is incorrectly described as being a clutch lever dust cover, when what it is really a master cylinder dust boot. Before you look at what it sold for, keep in mind Jeff at Z-1 Ent. sells these for $4.94 and they are genuine Kawasaki parts.
The next WTF example is ebay item #160227402689 a NOS Lester rear wheel for a H1, H2 or Z-1.
Last WTF example we have ebay item # 160227405572 a NOS Lester front wheel for a H1, H2 or Z-1.
It was the same seller for all 3 parts but 3 different buyers. I’m sure he is one happy camper tonight.
Am I crazy or is this insane money for these parts? I know Jeff Saunders deals with this stuff everyday so I’m hoping he will chime in here and tell me what I’m missing. At this point I’m just shaking my head and saying to myself, WTF?

I'm thinking NOW would be the perfect time for me to list all the parts that Bluemeanie and I removed from my SR parts bike yesterday.
Of course I'll include the typical "rare", "no longer available" and "OEM" keywords/statements to the descriptions so I can get top dollar for my "treasures"! :laugh:

That is unbelievable!!! :ohmy: Someone should send the link for Z1 Ent. to the winner of the "dust cover". :woohoo: Nah, that would be too cruel...
No, that wouldn't be cruel at all, just think how much money we could save him in the future. Now I'll grant you the part that Jeff has for sale is not exactly the same one as it doesn't have the little wrinkled gator section, but for a difference of $195.00 I think I could live with that.:S

After adding up what that seller is going to net on those 3 auctions, I have to disagree with him laughing all the way to the bank.
After seeing the ending bids, he's probably still in ICU with glazed over eyes and suckin' oxygen through a tube!:woohoo:

I'll add that the majority of us are riders and treat our bikes accordingly. The people active in these forums generally aren't the serious restoration types so going nuts over some NOS doo-dad isn't typically our style.
