Um, not for nothing but don't you think you may have wanted to ask that BEFORE you bought them, lol?

But at any rate, (I'm sure you already know) IF all is well with those parts (and I wish I had a closer look at their clean up on the pistons and ring landings), that's a banging deal.

If everything checks out, then yes, you got a great deal.
Hell, even if one turned out to be bad, the price was still good.

upon recieving them, inspect the ring lands, journals where the rod bearings go, thread on the bolts/rods, piston skirt wear, etc. you know the deal. good find though. have everything checked out professionally. If anything doesnt check out, ebay is now a buyers sanctum so, you'd win any dispute, if PP was used.

Ebay has that same deal 365 days a year. Compared to buying them from a shop....yes you go a deal. Compared to buying them off ebay and other day....NO you didnt. I have seen new Eagle/JE go for 704.00 on ebay every once and a while.

Hmm, $704 new vs $240ish shipped used. Tell me again how that's not a good deal (provided that the ring landings are there and the rods aren't bent)?
