    All of a sudden ebay seems to be full of mint Optimus 199 Rangers. I doubt whether anyone is going to win one unless they have at least 500 dollars. Where do they all come from?

    Everyone who ever bought them for 75.00 and has never used it. :lol: Plus I am sure there are lost pallets of them in a few warehouses at least in the U.S.

    It amazes me how many continue to sell for so much. I used my 111B this morning out camping, worked great. One of my latest stoves, just needed the NRV poked as the pip was still soft, a new o-ring in the cap and the pump cup lubed. Runs great.
