Looking at past ebay auctions, it looks like used 3000F caps sold for $25/ea back in 2011, and a group of 12 used could be had for $250. I emailed Cusdn to see what the prospects were for buying 6 from him. His response:

Only have what is listed. Have several hundred of the 1500 and thousands of the 350. Waiting for new product. Not sure when or what is coming.

So, I'll hold off because $319 for used product is too high. Strange that supercaps have become more expensive over time. Usually technology falls in price over time.
I believe my starter is functioning as it should. It has 2 batteries because of the high draw from the air intake heaters and the starter, which has to overcome 5.9L of high compression.
