rarer than Hens teeth
 
Ive just followed yet another Termi exhaust on e bay all week - it was 2000miles old good condition etc, bidding has went from £300 to a final bid of £740.
Considering these thing can be bought new with warranty for £900 ish why are they fetching so much money?
I come to the conclusion that if I buy one new and then sell it in a years time on e bay it'll probably fetch +£500 and therefore only have cost me £400 !!!
Or not ?

Yep, thats about the jist of it. I was watching that auction as well, just out of interest. It is mad how much people will pay!

Put a wanted ad in Market Place...you never know!

what's mad about it
if its as new why waste your money on new.
if you have the money to buy new why not bid 750 and save yourself 150 bucks ? then when you want to sell it you will lose even less

i was watcing this and i cant belive these things cost (a) so much new and (b) so much second hand! :P

For a piece of pipe and silencer that short it is well and truly a rip off.

I really want the termi noise but just cannot justify this much on a piece of tin, that doesnt really do much different to the std one..

I think we get ripped off in the uk. Saw a pair of slip on termi end cans for a ss in France 496 euros (appros£340) close to £650 in the uk.
Looking in to asymetrical systems for 03 749s at the moment so will keep you posted.
Anyone interested if I can import them at the right money???

I dont think you will get Termignoni systems any cheaper.I have looked in odd dealers while out in Italy and the prices are around the same,or in some cases dearer!(Mebbe some Ducati pricing policy,...I dunno....:( )
You could maybe get better deals on alternative makes like Akropovic,Remus,SilMotor,etc...
