I can understand not wanting to mess with Ebay or the miata.net classifieds if you don't have to, but to someone who does it on a regular basis, that hurts. I hope that they at least gave you something extra for the hardtop.
Of course, the only thing I have going for a miata right now are a set of used 3A Racing pedal attachments. This isn't the best time to sell most miata parts, especially used parts that probably won't be gifts, though it is a great time to sell a hardtop.
Now if you need a Santa figure paddling his gifts in a canoe, I got ya covered, the bidding is only up to $355.00 so far. :-)
