There is an upward trend, exceptions of course, and timing is a factor. Do two bidders out there NEED it right now?

I have also seen examples where whole bikes sold a year or two earlier then the parts of them sold for far more later. There is a seller of a Masi right now or just concluded, where the images are poor, but the same seller is selling the correct pedals and skewers in other auctions at the same time. He shot around the skewers, does not state that they are not correct, but one has to carefully review the images to see what is going on. ebay sellers are fortunate that they do not sell face to face.
