About 15 years ago I dug through my box of new take offs and sold a ton of them on fleabay. Nearly all of them went to Japan. I kept a few sets for my own use as well as a few other Mafac models from back in the day.
I sold off nearly all the Simplex derailleurs, I may have one or two sets left at best. If I do they're packed away in boxes in the attic.
It costs $10 to join BF; you get rid of the ads and you can buy and sell. I'm not the only person here who likes old French bikes and would love to buy some of your stashed away inventory in the attic!
