Start by listing what you have tried, compare it to the comprehensive list on Sheldon Brown. Then let us know what the stem is made out of (and post a few good pictures).

As far as having to cut out a stem, sure, I've done it before when nothing else worked. Now on a Supercycle, I would probably be parting it out at that point.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
