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....

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.
