Hi,
The older Rivendell catalogs (No.3) listed the B-17 they were selling at the 
time as "A spiffed up (just for Rivendell) B-17". Doesn't that mean the saddle 
was a unique product? Or was Rivendell ad copy just false?

Ebay is a free-market thing, you can ask what ever price you want, you may get 
it. How many iPhones were sold at a marked up price?

Cheers!
