$25 dollars for a cinelli stem with the wrong washer. Sure it says cinelli on it but you're probably better off with that mid priced new one you're so against unless you just care about the name.
$75 wheelset???? where?
Old stuff isn't always good and while you can sometimes find a deal on something of higher quality than what you can get new people often charge way way to much for mediocre brand name stuff. That sounds like what box dogs is doing.
