Wow. I love this stuff. i cant stand having to buy products from company's, getting them, thinking I paid and arm and a leg for this and knowing that they only spent 10$ on it and made 300$! Keep up the great work.

in Mark's own words
He gives OK info on buying a used Toploader, but bad advice on walking away from ANY sign of damage. Most of the instances of damaged parts he describes can be fixed very easily, in most cases on your own, with replacement parts. I've bought several used Toploaders that needed repairs, for very little money ( both in purchase price and replacement parts) These "broken" Toploaders can be repaired in most cases and in doing so you can end up with a good serviceable transmission for way less than you'd pay for a "good" Toploader. I guess that in giving that advice on walking away from a damaged Toploader, Mark figures that he may end up with these "broken" Toploaders himself ,eventually, thereby repairing them himself and making a huge profit in the process. If you want a link to a better site on Toploaders ( and a better company that sells ANY part you may ever need for a Toploader) go to
