The Most ASININE eBay Pricing I Have Ever Seen...

All this being said, I know of someone who would buy from that seller in a heartbeat if the seller had what he needed.

Paul, is he my mother or father? That's their style. I think it's a "upper-middle-class" thing, because pretty much everyone in my family will usually take the first price you give them. Wish I had that kind of financial security.

there are different motivations for different buyers: if you are trying to buy used parts to keep a daily driver going, you look for low cost parts. If you are trying to restore an old car and want it to look "new", you will pay a lot more to get new looking parts.

For 2WD Wagon parts:
How about $200 for an admittedly faded tail light - how about (well, you read them).

Granted that he states "OBO," but...
I am tempted to put in a bid of 50 cents for the unit just to see his reaction.

Interesting..He is also selling a the overhead map lights/sunroof switch assy. for the car. Are you going to bid on that as well?

WOW - only $20 for a steering wheel fixing nut! Such a deal!
I guess it costs so much because he took 5 photos of it for the ad...

Or, you could buy a cracked and faded inclinometer from him for only $299.95 (mounting bracket not included)...
However, he does have a nice one for only $399.95 - but still without the bracket!
Only $75 for a shifter knob!

Honestly - who the heck buys parts from this guy?

Shucks, I went to all the trouble of making my own battery hold-down bracket after the original rusted out, and I could have bought an original equipment item with authentic rust and peeling rubber for $99.99 and free shipping ...
