Yup I think I found a solution.
May act upon it this summer.
Build a 25% cub and put a 30cc sparker on it Smile

Now days you could have a fleet of plastic in less then a couple weeks, thanks to eBay.

AND, of course, a bottomless wallet!

Kyle, the seller, is a customer of ours. Definitely title spamming and against eBay rules but he sees it as a means of inducing hits.

Little does he know that eBay's "Best Match" algorithm actually will penalize the listing within hours and demote the listing in search status. The days are over where one can title-spam one's way to the top. A few dozen "hits" with no click-throughs and "poof", BOP (Bottom Of Pile) she goes.

eBay's BM algorithm is proprietory and they won't reveal it. One thing they could not conceal, however, was their 80+ page patent application for it. When they first applied, I read it. It makes for great insommnia medicine but I managed to find the gems in it I needed to place tops in eBay searches.

But then, they keep tweaking the algorithm and it's a moving target.

That explains why I could just look up parts and accidentally order from C.I.(COX INTERNATIONAL) without even trying to order from CI., somehow you always come up first when I`m looking up items,its way faster than looking/ordering on the C.I. website for me lol!

It took until recently that Matt nearly never got any of my business Shocked
