What's the current market for used FC parts like?

It's been the better part of 5 ish years since I've done much shopping of RX7 parts. I'm a bit out of touch with current market prices, and I'm skeptical of eBay pricing. What do used T2 irons go for nowadays? And in my case, I've got an S4 set with collapsed coolant seal walls. I know it's repairable, but I don't know how to gauge an appropriate price for them.

Also water pump housings - am I wrong for thinking they were only $50 for NA at some point? Are they really $120+?

You're not serious, are you? Is it just crackpipe pricing or is there a legitimate reason for charging for more?

nobody ever checks to see how much new stuff is, and or assumes you can't get it

very true! I've starteed posting links to new parts in peoples adds anytime I see someone grossly overprice the parts. I don't think the FC will ever be "afforadble" again, but we can do what we can to make sure people aren't getting ripped off.
