More EBay madness

What is going on here?

$200 for a battery tray. OK so it is still new but that just means it is painted with a sticker on it.

I've seen very few originals that aren't rusted out. That's only just over twice the price of the new rares one.

Not saying I'd pay it, but I'd see how someone wanting to do a concourse resto would.

I just sold one the other day to a bloke for $20. It had surface rust only. Don't tell me that I under sold it.:errf:

I have seen plenty around that have only minor surface rust. Bit of a scrubb and some paint and they are as good as new.

i sell them second hand for $25...whoever paid that much for a battery tray with a sticker has got way too much money and no life..:errf:
a resonable price for that as nos is 100 bucks max.
and repro they are pretty good at this price... https://rsp-secure.com/rarespares/de...t_number=RP303

I guess they paid for the 'already done' work - a buy and fit straight in job. I agree. $200 is a little overboard. Restoring something is half the fun. Why wouldn't you buy a second hand battery tray and restore it yourself. Such a simple job with a whole lotta x-factor!

Bloke who bought it may be able to earn $125 an hour doing other stuff, so to him it's cheap at $200.
