    hey guys,

    this is an ebay listing for a crystal for a 376.0822 : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/131445058391Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Is there something special about it? Ofrei lists the same crystal for $38 (http://www.ofrei.com/page_168.html). The ebay one sold for $224.50.

    the part number appears to be the same in both listings... 063PW5173

    am i missing something?

    thanks!

    Nope, not missing a thing. Crystal is still available from Omega, and is about $30...their shipping is as much as a new crystal costs.

    The one they have is not very "old" as "new old stock" is concerned (not much of their stuff is really). The crystal shown in the auction was made the 36th week of 2008...not exactly vintage. I get parts in that are older than this as new from Omega quite often...

    Same old same old with these guys.

    Cheers, Al

    It happens when people dont take the time to research the prices before hand but that certainly is a huge markup ::screwloose::

    Have to agree that many of their items are priced very high. I have bought a few items from them but I always try to make sure I know the price and availability before making a bid.
