he might also be trying to capitalize on the interest to increase his return. Nothing technically wrong with that, but if I wanted parts off eBay, I'd already have hydroboost. Or I would have pulled it from the yard. If I am buying used, I want to buy something I know works. I wont join a bidding war for it, and I'd be surprised if I wasnt the first to post or PM him about it.

jeez you guys take your hydroboost seriously for some reason.
SO let me get this straight. By posting on ebay as a marketplace, that would then devalue the parts, even though I am still the same seller posting, selling, packaging and shipping them? Interesting logic there.
I always find it funny when people have an apparent aversion to buying car parts on ebay. Do they think ebay is manufacturing the parts? It just a marketplace. Each seller is still selling their own stuff. I get that guys frown on chinese turbo kits and such, but if you're buying an obviously oem part from a seller not in socal, I don't get the paranoia.
Anyway, hydroboost is off. The PS pump is different from non hydroboost, there is an extra low pressure return nipple on the hb pump. These parts originally came off an escalade of unknown mileage in the junkyard, but I have used them for probably 90-100k miles without issue.

I figured if I put it up on ebay, post the link here and in all messages, whoever buys it first buys it first, without hassle or argument.
Arthursc2 is clearly taking this seriously and he was the second to pm me and the first guy hasn't replied about any of the other parts he also asked about, so I guess it can go to him if he wants.

Just need a PayPal and a shipping quote to 87124
the problem with eBay is you see master cylinders that look like they have been drug through the Grand Canyon for $300 when a new ACDelco MC is 199. Or you see used ones for 179, etc etc. not only that, there is a lot of sketchy **** done on eBay, where as we see you pulling it off a running driving truck. Likelihood for issues is far lower buying from you than on eBay. Least, that's my logic
