ITs always who is looking that week, what they will pay, and how the listing is often listed. same thing happens all the time with unclear or partial title lines, or you get a YZ listing on a DT1 part and it sells for 4 times the price yet same code ? WTF
Knowledge is everything :O)

Not going to CD5, its just toooooooooo far from W.A, if it ever goes to S.A I might think about it but for now all my spare cash is going into the three TM's and the MX250A projects.

If people like Pro-flo have anything to do with it PROBABLY NOT  >:( >:( >:(

My MX250 just needs the Circle-F kit pipe welded up, fuel line and filter (easy), and that damned pvl ignition to get going and then there's running it in and carb tuning to do. The TM's aren't getting started until the MX is raceable, I do have a lot of new parts for them including the hard to get stuff (mag covers) so they should'nt be as much of a bastard as the MX has been.

Swap meet at Cannington on sunday may generate a little extra money as I have some goodies to sell (TM250/400 rear wheel, J&R DT250A pipe and muffler and other DT250 parts)

Some circle-f pipes need welding on of the tail pipe only (my MX pipe is for the 360 as well as the 250 so some adjustment is needed)

Retro rocket (vintage iron) do a pipe for the RM125S

Give him a "friendly" email about it and see if he can send another to you as a replacement, I have done this a couple of times and found them reasonable.
