 Just hang out on Astromart... daily - that's what I did and here's what seemed 
to be the case; Some of these bigger gears never get used... they just pass 
hands like collectibles... mine have found a home and *will* be used, barring 
extreme misfortune. When the larger gears do show... the asking price inhibits 
many buyers. Even at 'discount' and 'sacrifice' prices - they're kinda 
expensive. This means that typically they will be available for awhile, and the 
seller might be willing to negotiate the price. Have your budget available, but 
haggle for a day or three before you commit to a final price... don't forget 
safe shipping and real insurance charges... this can be substantial with the 
large and heavy pieces. Good Luck and...

 Happy Hunting !!!
