We have bought plenty of NIB 010 engines for that price.

That's crazy.

Spend just a little more and you could get a NOS crankcase assembly, carb body, glow head...for free with your NOS cylinder/piston set, all packaged in crystal box. https://www.ebay.com/itm/COX-TEE-DEE-010-FRONT-ROTARY-VALVE-CONTEST-ENGINE-NEW-IN-ORIGINAL-PACKAGING/123228489343

Bernie, How's your stock on .049 Sure Start cylinders sitting? Not running out anytime soon I hope.

Still lots of .049 Surestart cylinders and pistons left. Don't forget that we bought over 25,000 engines some years ago.

Bought a .010 piston, glow plug and prop for $45 on ebay earlier this year.

Someone really wanted it.

There is another one up there as auction. Let's see where it goes lol!

Cox International Tue Aug 07, 2018 3:08 pm

Oh and then a used RR1 rotary valve that already at $31 https://www.ebay.com/itm/372389375298 Huh...

I reluctantly confess, I was the offender who splurged on the .010 cyl. assy. It was the first one I ever saw available on the bay and wow did I let myself go with that bid. Worse still, none of my .010's even needed a new cyl. assembly! Not like me at all, i'm usually so frugal!

We all have that moment of weakness. I have had my fair share of them.

Yep...everybody! Luckily, I have the ability to forget the cash taken out when the newest Gem rolls in!

Just bought on ebay a new 051 stepped wall TD cylinder plus piston for 40 bucks...functionally équivalent, converted 049 TD cylinder and piston sets are sold by Bernie and Matt at around 15 bucks...why still at 40 from ebay?...the thrill of getting genuine old stock stuff...my weakness.. Very Happy

We had six unique bidders that we willing to pay between $30 and $44 (or more as we don't get to see the max bid of the winner). We did not expect this but nor did we expect an 010 cylinder/piston to go that crazy. Oh well, the winner will get a bunch of other 010 goodies included as we cannot in good conscience sell a set for that much money.

Thanks Bernie I am happy to have won that 051 c/p set..just wanted to second to Kim and others that I am as weak as others when it comes to buying COX merchandise in a competition. Very Happy

That 010 c/p set is also like a magnet and should I not have some spare 010 stuff (probably never to be used in my life) like that in my inventory I would have already entered the auction even at this crazy price level..
