Well, I didn't really STUDY the ebay ad or the pictures - what's the problem there? Why should nobody bid on it?
Not sure what the beef is with JB Weld, either. Sounds like a generic case of the previous owner doing a repair that you consider sub-standard. How many times have we all had THAT situation show up on a bike we got? How many times have you done a repair that someone ELSE might consider sub-standard?
Good luck with it. Post some pix when you can.

My problem isnt with JB Weld...
It's with the amount used to cover up the mix matched welding job with a STEEL plate. If it were only JB weld that'd be one thing. But to try to weld in a steel plate to an aluminum hole with what looks to be a mig welder.... is slightly uncalled for.
Considering that it took me almost 3 hours cleaning the cases only to find out that the welding job melted the case around one of the bolt bungs... and cracked the whole top of the case, makes them virtually useless unless some major repair work were to be undertaken. To be honest, given the amount of collateral damage, it would be cheaper to buy new ones than try to fix these.
And sadly money I ain't got right now. Kinda like everyone else this time of year.
So I meant to ask that no one please drive up the price (thank you in advance) so I can afford to get my bike back on the road next season.
My frustration has gotten the better of me, and I can't tell you how many times I have had to fix things on my bike that I did to begin with that were sub-standard. Happens all the time. You go for a quick fix and then.... time goes by without being properly taken care of.
I'm not judging.... just venting and asking for help all at the same time.
