edit...
some facts.
"Real" unemployment is close to 23%
Some of those unemployed own older Mercedes
Eventually some of those flex discs break on the unemployed Mercedes Owner's car.
Behind on their mortgage, and owning a car that runs but doesn't drive due to a failed flex disc,,,
Being "That" seller, I am providing a service that some knuckleheaded members may disapprove of, but some real humans are glad as heck to have found me on eBay.

"I have some good (for nothing) used suspension bushes on my 1980 300D (see my sig for mileage). You want them cheap?!!!
Have a pair of front shocks, They were leaking a couple of 100k miles ago but have stopped leaking (probably all the oil has leaked out ), I could give them a coat of paint & make them look like new. Want them as well?"
Maybe other ebayers paint old leaking shocks, but I don't usually bother to pull them, unless of course they are worthy, as I guarantee ALL parts sold.
Are you done insulting me? Please tell me your eBay userid, so that I can block you from buying any of my stuff. And in 6 months, when Mad Max shows up, you might apologize for your devilishly clever insulting posts.
And as far as used pistons, here's one for you

Oh BTW those pictures of torn up tunnels, the flex disc gives some warning after it breaks. typically a rather loud Thump. Now for someone to drive their car with a major Thump everytime the accelerator is pressed, or the brakes are applied, they kinda deserve a torn up tunnel. you wouldn't be speaking from experience, now would you?
