Without trying TOO hard to do the math.... didn't they make the 850 from '79 to '83 model years....that would be FIVE years?
Another overpriced hack job....it's an "L", but still....
And I guess putting a G tank on a GL makes it 'custom'

The tank on that bike is not a G tank, it appears to be the correct tank for an '82 850GL. It was enlarged from about 3.5 gallons in '81 to about 4.5 gallons in '82.

I dropped him a very civil note, just saying a "heads up because I'm SURE you don't want to mislead potential buyers", and wished him luck on getting that kind of $$.
He did write back, saying the tank was from a GS550, because he "liked the lines and it set the engine off better". Pretty subtle change, I'd say.
He didn't respond to the actual years the 850 was produced, nor about the price.
Probably one of those people who think it's worth whatever they've got into it, plus X%.....

Different tanks, different bars, front fender/no fender, exactly what is he selling?
