Crazy Prices

As I've shown here before, ya gotta be careful out there. Ebay is a combat zone and Craigslist a minefield. Here's a few examples of some, err, optimistic sellers of VF/VFR goods.

From a very active seller in Ohio we're offered a used owner's manual with the original case.

The rather hopeful value he's placed on this item is $75 or make offer, so I suspect my offer of 20 bucks won't be accepted. I will add that the real value here is that the manual is for a 750 model, which are getting difficult to find compared to the 700/F2 versions. Good luck.

Speaking of VFR700 owner's manuals, up next is an '87 VFR700F2 manual which our seller presents as a New Old Stock item in its "original protective bag." I've never personally seen a ziplock bag for these manuals, but that certainly doesn't mean it's not the real deal.

What I do have a problem with is the lack of a Honda sealed bag with a part number sticker. The other issue is the $90 (!) asking price (or best offer). As if that's not enough, there's also a $2.63 shipping charge. Again, good luck with all of that.

Finally, offered for a Buy It Now price of $120 (plus $7 shipping) is a NOS tool kit for the 87-88 VF700/750C (Magna). This is a pretty rare find these days and the kit is in beautiful condition. But at that price you will desperately want a tool kit to complete your concours restoration.

This item has been on offer for a long time, just waiting for that one buyer to come along.
