This is absolutely ridiculous and I feel a little better after venting about it.
Yes some amazing prices. The gentleman selling these parts is the painter that did the paint for my car. In fact, he was nice enough to give me 2 original Lucas headlights for my car as a gift. He has many original parts and for some has received some prices that are very high. The prices in this current set of auctions was ridiculous but I am not surprized. I am most amazed by the windshild plates and rubber. I do however think that the set of hardware was worth every penny. Not only is it from an original car but includes the vin stamped latch hardware from CSX3342. The best thing for this particular part would be to sell it to the owner of 3342 and I think it would easily bring $1200.
