Guess I won't throw out that container of old flojets.
Actually someone just left a 10 hp yard pro at our church metal dumpster. However it was gravity feed.
Heh I see a few possibilities with that listing - A) Carburetor is no longer available so they bought out someplace and now control the market (or think they do) or B) this is a drop-ship seller that does not have any inventory on hand , and the unit is on backorder at their supplier, so they jack up the price to astronomical levels to discourage anyone from buying one, while they are still able to leave the listing active (stealing views and maintaining their ranking on the listing) or C) the seller is on vacation and thats how they "pause" their listing (see previous item B) or any combinatino of all of the above .. Oh yeah D) seller had a typo while entering his price and did not notice. (I did the same once, and had a $20 part listed at $2.097.00 didnt even realize it until someone sent me a message joking about it. )
