Default PCV- do they hate it?

Why do I see so many PCV's for sale here, craigslist and other boards?

Is there general dis-satisfaction with the PCV?

When riders trade in or sell their bikes (or get out of Harleys perhaps), the PCV can be removed and resold.

PCVs are good for cheap and dirty power with reasonably good road manners. But a few late model riders miss closed loop, worried about having to deal with moisture issues, or eventually find the PCV not good enough so they move on to something more sophisticated. I think that situation is a relative drop in the bucket, however.

Many more are happy with them.
