All I can say is....HOLY COW!

My old eyes must be getting worst, I can't see the gold plating :003:
Two holy cows. ....... and it's not even nos. In the last year or so I've seen a dozen or so ads for diferent items with similar ridiculous pricing, but they've usually been nos stuff. One I can remember was a nos power seat switch for 450. No seat, no motor, just the switch.
And it might sell, there's an old saying about "Fools and their Money"
WOW
I'm glad that I don't need something like that for my car!
My dad used to say that money is like a fickle woman, if you don't take care of her she will leave. Some fool will soon find another loving and caring for his money.
Zap- :unitedstates:
There's a guy not to far from me that parts out 57 and 58 fords occasionally , he had a 57 fairlane 4dr. pretty rusty not many good parts on it but it did have factory air , I didn't have tools with me so I told him I would like to come back and get the garnish mldgs. with the vents and the control panel. Well a week or so I ran in to him, to late already hauled to the scraper.
Someone will buy it, there's a certain breed of people that assume that just because it is on EBay it MUST be a bargain!
I've run across guys like this all my life, if you look at his other listings there way overpriced too. I bet if you talk to him he'll tell you that his stuff is worth the money, and the people who bid on ebay are just cheap a--holes who want everrything for nothing.
Got another one to sell, removing it from my dash now!!!!
And you would think for that price you'd get free shipping.
