1.) That part is not made by Dezod. It's made by Boomslang. Dezod purchases it from Boomslang and resells it.

2.) That seller is not Dezod - probably someone who purchased it for a project and now wants to get some money back.

But I'm not sure why this is so interesting??

Well its not gonna be a good price now that you told everyone on scionlife all about it lol.
On a side note why the hell is the harness so expensive? Sell me some connectors and I will make my own.

its exspensive because of the time that goes into the making of it and the precision that it must have..

Labor. The connectors require $5K-$20K outlays at a time to purchase from the manufacturer. PLUS, the fact that these harnesses take 2-4 hours each to make.

wow didn't know they make you buy so many at a time... i think i will go the old fashion way and spice into the harness. Butane soldering iron is going to be my best friend lol.

Btw I asked the ebay guy selling the harness for feedback and he linked me to his "old profile that he can't get onto anymore" and it had like 10 feedbacks with 6 being negative. So buyer beware, i'm not touching that.

Dear gompka,

I'm actually not completely new to ebay. I was having issues with my old account and out of frustration just created a new accound. You can view my feedback page for my other ebay deals at:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...k&myworld=true

Hope this helps.

And 6 negative feedbacks out of 10 total. And did you notice his f/ic thats also up for sale, the high bidder has 0 feedback and just registered a few days ago.
