These are the heads with the revolving price tag. When they first went 
up there were no bids at 25.00 and 20 hours left I figured for 25.00 
bucks I'd take the chance and hell it was 24 shims. Then the price went 
to 600 BIN and no bids and I see they are back again. I guess the price 
will rise and fall over this auction too.
What really has me baffled on ebay right now is RCM/super_high_output. A 
month ago the upper 3.0 gasket complete upper head set with headgaskets 
were 139.99 4 days ago it was 136.99 Yesterday it was 199.99 and today 
279.99. But I did notice he only raised that price after he listed the 
3.2 head set for 289.99. Strange Mayhaps but I guess it's supply and 
demand.
