Sent a pair of MK2 fenders to Brian Haygood from Oregon to Texas (really
late on the delivery, sorry Brian) via DHL in the largest box U-Haul had,
which I had to modify to a bigger size, for under $40.

Biggest reason people put stuff on E-Bay is to make money :)  I hate the
bidding system so I shop craig's list and this list.  I love this list
because of all the parts everyone has and the ability to be generous to
fellow scirocco lovers (thanks again Koabi for the goods).  I try to price
everything I sell to listers as the local pick-n-pull yard does since that
is where I get most of what I need.  Plus I never would have know about
Peter and Potterman.
