I got my roll bar for the cost of shipping from CA to WI. Thanks again to the 
person who "sold" it to me!

You're kidding, right?  The vendors get at least $300 for those, and more.

Keep in mind the following:

Datsun Roadsters haven't been manufactured in over 40 years.

When they were, I read somewhere that only about 5,000 cars of both 
models were imported to the US each year.  That's 5000 1600's and 5,000 
2 liters.
 So were talking about 10,000 cars a year.  Of those, probably half are 
long gone.  Trashed, crashed, crushed, left to rot, and not worth anything.

Of the one's left, less than half are runners, the others are parts 
cars, and the parts cars are being sold off every year, leaving less and 
less parts. 

I'm always amazed at how people seem to want the cars themselves to be 
worth a ton of money once restored, but they think the parts should be 
cheap, when there are so few of them!
