True. "I have too much cash and too many beers" said no man ever.

I bet that if they had a better title they may have gone for even more. I didn’t see the listing because I useally search M3A4 or handcart. Not that I would have paid that much!

that's a fair price to pay if it's going on a $6000 cart :o

Fact is at least two people thought thye were worth the price....
Just about everyone who owns a cart is lacking the ropes, especially over here in the ETO...

Carts are plentiful in the US, but rare and hence expensive in Europe, the ropes even more so...

I paid the equivalent of roughly 350 over 10 years ago and haven't regretted it one second...
