____ David, I've edited your post above merely so as to have it 'quote' ONLY* the pertinent parts of my-post (which you had quoted entirely), and-so it now 'quotes' appropriately.
(* It is a bit of extra work, (to insert: [ quote] [/quote] ), which is why I-myself don't usually bother with making use of our w.site's intended quote-function.)
" I needed some money to fund other parts "
____ Oh, I guess that makes fair since IF you acquired the n-c.M1-head prior to letting-go of your w-c.Mk3-head.
Did you sell it through eBay ? _ If so, then what area of the would did it sell to ?
" I found it on the US eBay site, probably 5 years ago. "
____ That's-curious, as I had assumed it was of another eBay-market or another time-period,, cuz I was regularly combing-thru the U.S.eBay back-then. _ So in-order for me to not recall noting it listed, then either it was not listed exactly as it was -(a large-valve head with G&W.cam), or it's price went fairly-well beyond 200-bucks (thus making it an unprofitable-purchase).
" Found the cam on eBay too, again, somewhere in the US, perhaps 4 years ago. "
____ I had assumed that you may have likely bought the "gray" cam from the same seller as you got the n-c.M1-head from, (since both parts were a possible original-match).
" eBay os good, "
____ Your M1-cam was also from a time when I was still keeping my eye-open for such Duke-parts on eBay, so it must have sold (to you) for an amount which Gray-cams were selling for back-then -(110 to 160 US.$).
(If it's price was still well under 100 just-before action end-time, then it's possible that even I-myself got a snipe-bid entered on that listing,, but likely not, as there were most-always unthoughtful-bidders who'd [stupidly] run-up the bidding well above 75-bucks long before auction-end.)
" but often items are incorrectly listed. "
____ You aren't kidden ! _ Before our w.site started (in late 2009), I used to instead spend my time informing sellers of their mis-identifications, and many were quite thankful, (but there were also at least a couple A.hole/ungreats as well !).
__ While it seems that the seller you got the M1/gray-cam from KNEW what he was selling,, I reasonably suspect that the seller who you bought the M1-head & G&W.cam from, didn't realize exactly what they had, (or else their action should've went for over 300).
