Ignorance is funny!

Should someone let this guy know the truth?

I've sent corrections to many eBay sellers about the stuff they have on sale, and they have never changed their ads. They don't care.

Guessing I would say that it's due to the title is right side light, but the pic is a left side light. Granted the imagine could be just reveresed (but doubtful).
Umm...it looks like a right side light to me, looking at it and then looking at Camminich's signature...it looks like a right side light...but i could be wrong

The funny part is (and please correct me if I am wrong, I have not bought these in a while) that I am pretty sure they are about $30 bucks from the dealer. Both sides. $75 per side is .... (come up with your own adjective).

Oh, I completely missed that. For some reason I thought it was $15, but that's just the shipping. So $90 total for just one side. Yes that does seem a bit much. But then maybe they are special side makers that add an exrtra 3 hp .
