$839 was just an average. The prices went from $6something to just over $1k. For that kind of money, I'd drive out to Atlanta, and buy a restored pump from Bob's Garage. Nothing at all against you, or your pump. Your's isn't "fully restored", but it is more or less complete, and a really nice looking pump. It's the whole "you live a gazillion miles away, and it would cost a bazillion dollars to ship" thing
