Engine cases
« on: 28.02. 2016 19:45 »
Would any of you learned gentlemen, happen to know why a DA10 engine case would sell for $61 on Ebay and a DA10R case for $345?
Would it just that the "R" signifies a Super Rocket, I'm scratching my head.

Thanks Bikerboy, it's hard to believe the R is worth so much more
I wonder what an A (alternator) would go for?
