Expensive , Expensive, and way too Expensive!

Hopefully this comes with a two saw replacement if it fails http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stihl-MS660...966219?hash=item33a34b7fcb:g:3x0AAOSwKrhVY3Zq

Supposedly 13 "sold"

That is Definitive Dave, he jacks up the price when items are back ordered and reprices when back in stock. It allows him to keep the ad up without relisting.

Look at the items purchased and the listing revisions. Even if it is a no item for sale violation ebay doesn't seem to do anything about listing violations at least in categories I visit. Is the regular price Stihl one that expensive to the $20 or so for the sold items? The picture looks like too few rollers/needles for a wristpin bearing doesn't it?

Maybe @Definitive Dave can answer your question.

Dave has already explained his methodology on this- there's no need to re-hash it or drag him over the rocks.

A saw capable of 26000 rpm scary.

Well, if you are interested for the sake of knowledge to know how much that specific bearing is, my multi brand catalog says €4 for Koyo, €4.20 for NTN and €5 for SKF. All prices are VAT inclusive.
Of course having "Stihl" associated with the name is bound to increase the value very much like "B[ring]M[ore]W[ampum]".

PS: not giving any judgment on the seller, just trying (too hard) to be funny.

These are a custom bearing I had made for a local saw abuser/tinkerer/milling fanatic who likes to do real ignorant, fast enough to make stuff fail, things to his saws.
They deliberately exceed the OEM spec by quite a bit.
I sold 13 on Ebay and also had a guy in Alaska buy three of them and then he told me all three blew up his saws
I sent him replacement OEM pistons, piston bearings and cylinder gaskets and he was supposed to send me the dead pistons and bearings to inspect and send to Koyo for failure analysis.
That was months ago and I have never seen the bad parts show up
Price jacked up till I decide I want to sell them at regular price or throw them out. Uncertainty makes me nervous.
This bearing wont be found in any catalog, they were a custom quote with a three month+ wait. I was told they were to be made in the USA, but they were labelled made in Germany when they showed up to my door.
Honestly I forgot I had them or I would have sent one along to be used on the 660 I am having built.

Well.....it did say better than OEM.

 

[Gypo Logger]

I wanted to order half a doz but doesnt ship to Canada.

 

[ChoppyChoppy]

Last 660 bearing I bought from the dealer was about $10.

I'm sure if there was a sale at that price Dave would go to the ends of the earth to fill the order!

 

[Definitive Dave]

if someone buys one at that price I will include an OEM new top end and bearing as well
hell I will throw in an OEM gasket and seal set and an OEM circlip installation tool
and shipping to Canada

holy crap I really might have over priced this with the recent drop in OEM price
actually I sent somebody the piston from this kit and need a reminder to put a piston back in the kit when the new order arrives.

I'm sure several uninformed AS'ers will be along shortly to tell you what a jerk you are and how your prices are.
