That $40 drum was no longer available, still looking........

Reserve pricing gives you an idea of what the market is for the part. If it doesn't sell that gives you the option of re-listing with an adjusted reserve price or putting it back on the shelf until prices go up.

F2 rear drums are hard to find but even these are a bit pricey:

Interesting comments by the seller on his pricing and shipping costs! I'd say he's dead right!
