Drew,
Nope, not me. I already have 2-3 spares, and the local Pick and pull only
charges $20 each (when they have a spridget), that's where I got mine.
I also picked up a pumpkin there for $40-45.
There are certain things I don't even bother bidding on, on Ebay, especially
when I know I can usually find it cheaper at the wrecking yard:-)
