Default Fly eye air cleaner

Fly eye air cleaner listed on ebay 250217838792 goes for over $676 dollars and does not meet reserve. You gotta see this. I realize it may be the only one in existence still in the package, but WOW.

I need one bad, but not that bad!!

He even admitted that his reserve price was "stupid," as in stupid high. He also said that if it didn't meet reserve it goes back into his collection never to be offered again. Sounds like he was just fishing for a deep-pockets bidder. Keep watching eBay now that this one hit $600. Guys will dig out their "mint" fly-eyes and list them hoping to get $500 and sell.

Just picked up a fly eye for a hundred bucks, glad I got it before this guy sky rocketed the price.

I have seen 3 different styles of the fly eye and was wondering which one is correct. One with a snap ring on top. Another with some type of retaining ring and the third with a squeeze screw on the side. Thank you, Tom.
