This seller seems a bit...........delusional:

Note he doesn't provide a photo which displays the opposing sides of the levers (this is important)...

Full disclosure: a couple weeks back, he listed a pair of SR chainrings - the big ring was Bianchi pantographed, and talked up in exactly the same manner (STORED seems to be his suggestion that his items are take-offs). Problem is, he provided zero photos of the opposite side of the rings - and even worse, wouldn't provide representative photos when I made an inquiry. I suggested if he did, he'd have a better chance of realizing their true worth (they were used, but not overly so - but the opposing side gets wear, too, and it was impossible to make an informed decision. I passed). The pair ended up going for stupid-low money: 77 bux.

Now he wants $500 for these obviously-used and slightly abused levers with Euro Asia Imports re-pop hoods - the worst re-pops ever. I term this sales tactic "lying by omission".

Sorry for the rant; this is a pet peeve of mine when it comes to auction photos which seem (are?) intentionally deceptive.

IF those are worth 500 bones, I should be able to finance a new car with mine:



I think the seller should stick to plants - or stop smoking them.
