Well, the reaction to my prices has been, oh let's say, less than
enthusiastic.  So I'm going to try something that a hobby shop I used to go
to when I lived in Indianapolis did when the were selling used model railroad
equipment for people.  The hobby shop was Casey Jones Trains that was behind
the Bonanza Steakhouse on Shadeland Avenue south of 38th Street and he called
it the "Irish Auction."  What he did was post a price and every week reduce
it until the piece sold.  So what I'm going to do is every week that I still
have an item reduce it's price by 10%.

Here is the revised list:

     1.  Syncro transmission with locking diff               $1350
     2.  Universal joint for a Syncro steering column      $108
     3.  Four plastic full wheel covers (one with chip)     $45
     4.  Bentley manual                                              Sold
     5.  Instrument cluster                                           $67.50
     6.  Stabilizer link for front left                                 $27
     7.  Parking brake cable for right rear                       $31.50

    The trans, instrument cluster, and stabilizer link all came from the same
    Syncro that was, or maybe still is, in the parts lot in Wyocena,
Wisconsin.

    There was 127,000 miles on it.  All are in good operating condition.  The
    universal joint and parking brake cable are new and have never been
    installed.  The hub caps are in good condition except one that has a chip.
    I put the smaller ones like the '72 has on it because I just liked the way
    they looked.  I meant to get chrome rings but never did.
