Value of valve. txt

[Timmee]

Well, today I received the valve that I bought on EBay. I had a chance to look it over and noticed a few things. One thing is the numbers aren't the same on the valve and body. Also, there are a few things missing on it (The on/off assembly, the spring for the reg pin, and various orings). In the case of the on/off assembly, I knew about that before I bought it. Did I get a good deal for $85 shipped? Despite the things I mentioned, I am reasonably satisfied that I got a decent value. Any other opinions? Thanks in advance for your input.

if you tell us how much u paid it makes it slightly more possible to answer your question about value

Ha! made you look!

whatever, if you get it working fine its ok. But you could have bought a totally complete and working valve in the classifieds section here for 90 bucks or so.

To get that AIR valve working you'll need an on/off assembly ($15.00), and reg pin spring ($8.00 for spring and pin), and a parts kit ($20.00 for all the o-rings). Add that to the $85 and you get: $128.00

That seems a little high to me. You could get a perfectly funcional one in the classifides for no more then $100.

So what's included with the valve? Should $90 include bolt and spring as well?

Mine came with the spring and a foamie bolt. A bolt spring is included in a parts kit, however. Too bad a reg spring doesn't.
