Sam,
    Perhaps an example will help.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1815386200
This is a rather intersting example.   Does this
Stainless Steel J-pipe listed on ebay actually last
any longer than oem?   My inquiry could be a sincere
question or simply a seller trying to increase his
sale price.
Should the list allow references to items being sold
on ebay.   I am neutral on this issue but can tolerate
any exchange as long as it contains some vanagon
content.   So Sam   what do you think??????
