if anyone could use a set of these, there are some lehigh and new england sets for $35.00 new. i would think thats a pretty good deal. both powered and they are the newer ones with flywheels. i have 3 sets or i would buy them. they are great pullers and mine run smooth and quiet.

 Back in May I got a FA\FB powered set for $25.98 from Walthers. My guess is the seller did the same and waited to sell it.  Thats the way to make some money!!

Would a person actually clear that $9.02 after e-bay get their auction and pay pal fees?

One could lose money on that "deal".
