its an auction....not the asking price and the bidding sometimes is set low to attract an audiance.

The same seller has previously purchased a " PINK HELLO KITTY Steering Wheel Cover NEW! "

Sounds like a crime ring if you ask me http://www.race-dezert.com/vb3/attachments/old/images/graemlins/smile.gif -- Still, better to be safe than sorry.

They have also sold another Howe rack in the past. And a fair amount of Accura parts. Maybe they work at a fab shop or for Howe ?

Hey guys...just talked to the guys at Howe. They recently had $10,000 of parts stolen during transit with UPS. They're gonna buy that ram and check the serial numbers...hopefully the can catch the guy that stole the rest.

have they tried contacting the buyer? Most likely it will be a desert guy and hopefully he would cooperate and give them the serial # so they can check it.
