Hmmm... Zipp's for a "buy it now" price of $1130... "steal" is a relative term... ;)

Well, presumably the auction price is less than the BIN. It's not going to be cheap regardless, but they're 15-1600 new, so.....

It's pretty easy to save so much money on ebay that you bankrupt yourself.

that's unfortunately true. And cheap is all relative. Thank God we all have such an inexpensive hobby :)

at least the value on recumbents stays fairly stable, and you can usually get back something close to what you paid for them....

My HED wheels cost $450.00 each and I thought that was a lot.

I sold my Zipp 404 650c wheels for about 800 on ebay; they came with new decals and ceramic bearings... If someone is patient, you can have zipp's 650's for about 5-700.

On the power tap, it's a fair deal, but keep in mind it's not the nice wireless one. Do some research on that model; I don't know much about them outside of the 2.4 wireless. I know some of the early PT's need quite a bit to keep them properly operational.

I got a pair of velocity Uriels I sell somebody real cheap, as long as they don't inspect the hub flanges before buying. :P
