Yes i agree the price is out there................and as i said twice in my first post..............post in the classifieds...............
What a lot of you guys are also missing in the ebay add is, it's for a full set of nos left and right switches and start/decompression lever...............If someone wanted to make their bike as good as it gets then these switches would be a good addition...................Totally reliant on the owners desire...............How is anyone to know what is in someones mind..............all options on the table and avenues offered........................A new set would be considered a reliable option, the condition of some of these bikes, that the parts are offered from, could be considered a gamble at best, (they were working when they come off the bike?)................
6, 7,8, years ago when i was looking for XS parts the prices were good and i was able to buy quality second hand parts because the craze had not taken its toll on availability of said parts. My ebay saved search went from less than a thousand offerings to today's 29,000 offerings, that is world wide. First up today is a used banjo bolt from the US Aus$22.00 + Aus $17.00 shipping....................Makes an OEM, unobtainable aftermarket, rare part, as the switches relevant..............
I sold a decompression lever/switch and decompression cover, about 6 years ago for Aus$100.00, and the buyer was very happy and would have payed more. Cost of parts are also relevant to local prices. What can be considered a good price in the US could be cheap here..........Depending on the exchange rate and freight and if the prices haven't gone up in the US.........the price of postage and parts from the US have risen considerably over the last 2-3 years.
Good on you guys who will sell a part at reasonable prices................but also remember if a part is sold for US$40.00 and the freight is US$40.00, add on the exchange rate and fees that part will cost Aus$108.00 and some of you guys want us to pay the paypal fees so another $3-4.00 on top.
That US$80.00 works out to close to NZ$120.00 with fees and exchange rate.............1/2 as much again.....
So now look at an US $80.00 second hand part, that becomes NZ$120.00 and compare that to a NOS Part that also encompasses the full set of switches for Aus$450.00 it could under some circumstances be regarded as a overpriced but reasonable buy for an very hard to get NOS part..........If ??..............
