I will.

I experienced some good luck when I bought my hard top. The seller put it on Ebay during the middle of the summer. He wouldn't ship and because the seller was moving, the buyer needed to pick it up in South Carolina within a few days after the auction ended. I was the only bidder.

I got a good price, but I had to drive to the northern part of South Carolina to pick it up over the 4th of July holiday. Fortunately, I had already installed the spin locks in my car and was able to accomplish the mission without mishap.

I haven't checked the hard top market lately, but if it is the same as it was when I bought mine, I recommend that you determine in advance how far you are willing to drive to pick it up and have a plan for collecting it.

Another strategy to consider (which worked for me when I bought a hard top for my Miata) is to contact owners who are selling a car with a hard top and ask if they are willing to sell the top separately. They will usually tell you that they want to wait until after they sell the car to make a decision.

Good luck.
