yeah it would be reasonable if he did it as a buy it now at $19.99. he and his glove have backed themselves on the old auction scenario. i wonder if he uses his glove when putting fuel in the tankOriginally Posted by ozbox

Very interesting. I have one on my HZ?? And I've seen quite a few fitted with them. Obviously added on at a later date?!
79 HZ XX7 308 Windowless Van . Driving with a big grin. A few little finishing touches required
If I had known and spent a couple of hundred and bought all this stuff new when I had my ute, I could sell it now and own an island up here. Most of this stuff was worth bugger all then.
"Proud To Be An Old Fart".
why is it reasonable for him to do it as a buy it now?...isnt that what auctions are about..sold to the highest bidder?
if people want something bad enough then they will pay what they think is best for them...
i still dont understand your comment that he is a shyster for listing something at a reasonable price at an auction?
shysters wear gloves too Oz
maybe if your comfortable with the general public paying 3-5 times what things are worth, you should look doing more business online... ebay maybe?

The guy listed it at 19.99, 5 different bidders took the price up to 103.50. So the general public (or at least the highest bidder) has decided it's worth $103.50.
I don't see how him spending time polishing a few spill trays and then putting them for sale makes him a shyster...
im from the old school i suppose goatster. its easy to rip people off and definitely not fun when your on the receiving end. human emotion will see you pay too much at auction. the mirror is worth $25-$40. shyster put it on at 19.99 auction when he could of done a buy it now and or best offer. my call mate. shyster it is.
your entitled to your opinion and i wouldnt question you because i dont really care

Vombil, I agree with Goat and think you're out of line there mate. eBay is an auction site and the guy auctioned off a part at a reasonable starting price..... To call him a shyster and rip off artist because some idiots bid stupid prices on it is not fair.
I saw a HG ignition bezel sell the other day for over $100????? I bought five new ones a while ago for $25 ea and fitted them to my restored fascias.... I have one left and am going to list it on EBay with a start price of $25...... I really hope several bidders bid it up over $100 and if they do how does that make me a shyster or rip off artist when I start the auction at the price I paid for it.
If a bidder is stupid enough to let emotion cloud his judgement then the only person ripping him off is himself.

If you want to see a shonky auction, try making all your income with livestock this way and watch stock and station agents at work.
I reckon this seller has made good money for a daggie piece of stainless steel. I reckon the buyer probably should have rung Greg and got one there. Its these sort of deals that blow the budget of a resto.
More to the point, if you take a bit of care you don't need one anyway. I reckon if you just shake it then it doesn't dribble on the floor anyway.
That's what my mum always told me!
