[Shotimes] ebay and the SHO

[Ian Fisher]

Every once in awhile I'll go to ebay and do a search
for "Taurus SHO" and wade through the 15 or so pages
of "stuff" that appears. Normally I'll just search for
something I'm looking for by adding the word "sensor"
etc but if I have the time I'll view everything.

Tonight I took 40 minutes or so to look at everything.

I found out that rebuilt heads (no description of what
was replaced) with a cracked cam "barely visible to
the normal eye" are worth $100 starting bid with a
$300 buy it now. I wear glasses so I don't know if my
eyes are considered normal or not. I guess a cracked
cam never hurts anything until it breaks, right?

A wrecked SHO can have a starting bid of $2200. I
think it was a gen2.

If you sell new $50 Mercury Sable lamps as a pair on
ebay and changle the title to "Taurus SHO headlamps"
people will bid them up to $122 with 3 days left in
the auction. Nevermind that the "not so small print"
states that you need to swap your fishtank over and
that the picture of the SHO headlight isn't what you
are getting".

That "(insert word here)" (or genius) selling the +20
hp intake sensor mod chip is still using a picture of
Kenny Epperly's SHO to sell his worthless product.
It's amazing that he's still able to sell that thing.

Phantom Grip LSD's sell well when you add in big red
letters that "these have been bad mouthed on the SHO
message boards but you need to follow the
instructions. Perhaps these people are all
competition.". Of course we are all competition! Geez,
doesn't everyone here have a house overflowing with
Quaifes to sell to poor unsuspecting Phantom Grip
owners? I have to kick a path through all of the
Quaifes just to get to the kitchen.

Of course there were the good finds too. A 65,000 mile
3.0 SHO motor in Philadelphia for $350 or the new
"submit best offer". I also found a few things that I
am "watching" so I will not share unless I win. :)

That $259 Fidanza deal seems pretty good.

Unfortunately I couldn't find what we all want; a 65mm
MAF.
