So, only four hours on the part, but it was in a larger assembly. What happened? How does that impact the life and value of the part?
There are people that do this type of speculation in aircraft parts for a living. Be careful.

Well... the A was only made for 3 years. Is it usable on a B or C ? I don't know, but if not, then you have a pretty limited market.
What paperwork does it come with? Was it on a civilian ship, or a military ship? It's pretty damn dirty for only having 4 hours on it. What are you actually getting for your money? This seller has another auction for the grips that you see in the photo. This seller just joined ebay in seven months ago. Almost all of his feedback is from buying stuff. Without a thorough inspection of the part, examination of the paperwork, and full disclosure of what you are actually buying, well, it's value is whatever scrap metal is going for these days. Besides - I thought you wanted a rotor head for a 500.

By the way, if you want an answer as to what a 269A head is worth, call Quinn @ 402-670-0038. He has a bunch of parts for the 269 series, and all of his stuff is legit.

Short of the lid on a nuclear reactor, that's just about the last thing you want to take a chance on.

OHHhhh comon
If he has paper work, and IF 4 hours left on it, its worth a "timed out" core at least.? Unless like said if "Military" then its non certed . I do not know if the thing would be marked TH which I think is the military P.N. I am just not all educated with all the 269 genealogy . I do know there are several A- D? and more The power levels of engine had something to do with TBO with it all . To recap- If it is a civilian and it is real, with paperwork what would be a real real safe bet ( bid?)

I can think of better things to spend $12 grand on, even as a shaky "investment".

Depends on what paperwork....it does not look like a head with four hours on it however. The seller should be able to provide a copy of the celts, which is most likely just as removed trace. I would guess it is from an accident machine, and would have to be fully inspected to be serviceable. So add in the cost of ndt for sure at a minimum.
However I have successfully ebayed good parts in the past, it is not impossible that it is a serviceable head. Find out if it was involved in a crash/fire etc and then you can begin to value the part.

What kind of paper work should come with this part if it real and validates TBO ?
The guy that owns this stuff is playing stupid with me. I know there are green tags This is scary Aviation parts tag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It reads " Tagging, especially "yellow tag," is a term used in US aviation to indicate a part is serviceable and airworthy as evaluated by an FAA certified repair station.[1] It is important to note that this term is an industry term and is not an FAA requirement or even mentioned in the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR).[2][3] Red Tag: component is scrap or unusable Yellow Tag: component is serviceable and airworthy Green Tag: component is not airworthy but is repairable

At a minimum trace to its last certified install, but as a rotor head you should receive the parts log book as well with hours documented TSN and TSO.

Too big to fail
|
Yellow Tag: component is serviceable and airworthy
Green Tag: component is not airworthy but is repairable This is counter-intuitive - one would think green would be "good to go" http://avionicsmasters.com/about-avionics-masters

With this deal its supposed to have a LOT of time left on it...
That is what i am trying to sort out. I do not want to fork monies out for a core . The part is a 1000 miles from me, not so EZ to run over and look at..(It is in Mo.) But i will if the price is right.
