exactly. Some friend of mine has a bikeshop, selling mostly wilier-ktm-orbea-focus bikes. He visits italian retailers 2-3 times per week, and gets deals like.. NIB Dura Ace seatposts (7400) for 1 euros each, then sells them for 10 bucks home.
I recall few weeks ago he phoned me that he has 28pcs of DA7700 and 7701 cranks with some old 105s, what should he ask for them. I've told him that they usually sell around 50 euros second hand, so he listed the cranks for 40 euros, NOS-NIB, original package-wrapping included.
He sold all of the cranks in 3 days..
Told me that some italian retailers throw those at him for virtually nothing as they have been gathering dust in the last decade.
Anyway, I love the 1050 series, esp. that swappingthe FH body takes only a few minutes and even give you the chance to run 10 spd as well..

Re:
yeah there sure are goodies there. cheer's. there are 2 or three dealer's there responsible it would seem for bumping up prices generally on e-bay and even i reckon on post . its hard to find a bench
mark for prices ie these forums,cycle jumbles i always thought these two are close on prices but then
this happens.then again you could buy a bike for say £250 sell the other bits and get the wheels for nothing here if you wanted.

Re: Re:
Need a 10mm allen key and a FH body or a FH body donor hub (like 1056, 6402, or even 6500.. one of my friend uses an old FH6208 with 10 speed cassette body!)
Basically you can run the rear hub 9-10 speed
just swap the FH body! (sometimes you'll need a longer axle too)
