LBS pricing - lucky for me

I bombed out on someone not showing to up to buy a frame on Saturday afternoon in Seattle so I decided to run by the bike shop there with a lot of used parts that I normally frequent. The pricing cracks me up on stuff periodically and lucky for me whoever priced the stuff was clueless.

I needed an mtb front derailleur and found a nice Deore LX for $8. Located another Suntour Vx long cage rear derailleur for $5.

But, the gem was in the box of non-descript front derailleurs. I was just about done picking through the bin when something smaller and shiny caught my eye. I pulled it out to see a Suntour Superbe Pro derailleur. I couldn't believe it had survived everyone going through the bin. $4 later I was on my way to the car and a long drive home - but I was definitely happy.
