I dropped off some Bassa and other parts for Matt F (the NM Guzzi rep--rally this weekend). We settled on a price that was fair, but considerably less than I would have gotten if I'd sold them on Ebay or here. I just didn't feel like listing everything, packing, shipping, & etc., so I was ok with the deal.
I stopped by a casino on the way home. I won enough that I ended up with twice or more what the parts are worth.
I wouldn't have gone by the casino if I hadn't dropped off the parts. I'm thinking that the Guzzi spirits may have intervened.
