Yeah, saw the pedal rubbers already - or should I say "pedal platinums" based on the cost-to-weight ratio?
This is worrying now how much this stuff is going for - £53 for a set of mudflap clamps! This stuff is getting TOO expensive now...

yep but the problem is there are a dozen or so people doing concours car and they are buying everything

European continent still remains sane!
Brand New NOS Ford original boot latch: €1,99 (= £1.30)
Brand New NOS Ford original Rear light cluster with seal €20,49 (=£13.50)
Brand New NOS Ford original Steering Rack €41,50 (=£27.50)
Brand New NOS Ford original RS2000 rear rubber quarter bumper €10,00 (£6.50)
He, he!
Can you post a few over at those prices it would be worthwhile?

Shit, this is so embarrasing! I misled the whole community by omitting to mention that these were shot on eBay! I was really replying to the post indicating that eBay had gone mad!
Anyway, I'll post the items on German eBay that I discover on this BB and if anyone needs help with the translation or transaction I'll be available! (Sorry, RSCustom - I know German eBay was a secret source, but it hurts to see the sometimes rip-off UK prices)

I always keep an eye on ebay Germany too.. I snapped up a boss for my RS wheel off there for the grand price of 45euros delivered.

Whilst the prices are high all the auctions start at 99p so it is the buyers who are dictating the final selling price - not the seller !
Looks like rsjoe is trying to buy up the worlds remaining RS spares as well.
He is bidding on nearly all the items.
Joe - Havnt you got enough bits to finish your cars yet ?

EH???????????!!!!!!!!! £56 for a set of Fuel Line Clips - concourse or not, somebody somewhere is having a Toffee Crisp....
I recently bought a brand new Gen Ford set from an Autojumble for £15. I can't believe the seeming naievety of the people buying this stuff!!! 'Kin mad!!!!

Explain !
Have heard of someone having a Giraffe (laugh) but never a Toffee Crisp - lol lol lol
Yeah, saw the pedal rubbers already - or should I say "pedal platinums" based on the cost-to-weight ratio?
Do you have a platinum fetish? Thats twice you have compared my items to platinum.It didnt stop you from buying some platinum fuel lines from me.
yep but the problem is there are a dozen or so people doing concours car and they are buying everything
paul1973 and lorim something or other. I spoke to Paul and money does not seem to be a problem
Maybe the dozen or so value quality parts that are very hard to find.
And i didnt think you looked at Ebay " I'm not in to this auction sh*te can you send me the parts now" not sent to me but sent to some one i know.
Not to mention the £430 quid he parted with for a brand new steering wheel (boxed) from Darren Moss - only to find out it was the wrong colour !!!!!
Maybe that price is steep for a steering wheel but imho you and others shouldn't be bad mouthing people on here because they want the best for their cars, maybe their cars deserve these parts.

Like it says in the listing the accelarator pedal cap is the rare one.
Your courtesy switches if bought from Ford lately will be the incorrect ones as they were obselete a long time ago.
How could i forget the mudflap clips.
I wasnt even going to list them but if people are willing to bid on them then who am i or any one else to set a price on them.
All this type of post does is to slow down the bidding on items or was that your goal.
s**t, this is so embarrasing! I misled the whole community by omitting to mention that these were shot on eBay! I was really replying to the post indicating that eBay had gone mad!

Rip off prices? Its an auction.
And i have seen you bidding over the odds on items aswell.

Again what qualifies you to determine the price of parts.
dasadrew
06-10-2004, 11:29
Perhaps they're hoping for the prices to appreciate, ha ha! If you consider the original price list, then add 4% inflation per year for 25 years, the prices for NOS hamstered items are pretty reasonable. i.e. the hamster hasn't gained anything! An item which used to cost £50 in 1980 should now fetch about £200 if it's been kept as a speculation object and I don't think that's generally true.
What's more disturbing on eBay is that, if someone is willing to pay £55 for a bit, then someone else was ready to pay £54.50!
I wonder how many of these transactions don't get completed, or how many brothers or sisters are helping to push up the price?

cheeRS...
No probs mate
When buying ANY part I only pay what I want to pay !
If the seller gets more then good luck to em !
I always use Sniper - set my limit - let Sniper do its thing and win or lose !
If I lose then look elsewhere for the part I need.
btw : - The new "boxed" boot spoiler I have must be worth at least £1500 at todays exchange rates - lol lol lol
If any seller of parts wants to use ebay, what's the problem?
It's not as though a massive reserve is being put on items to try and inflate prices.
As Dave said, if you want to buy, then bid accordingly. People are quite free to put a proxy max. bid.
The final prices in these auctions are determined by simple supply and demand economics.
Good luck to you FoMoCo!
Thanks for the replies, well the last two any way.
£1500 pmsl.
Not to me Dave .
You could try Ebay apparently things go for crazy money there.

Ohhhhhh it's you :wink:
I thought it was the other Gary :wink:
So I guess you outed yourself there Mate
I say good luck to you, you aren't setting massive reserves - it's the people bidding who are doing all the "hard" work :thumbup:
if someone wants something bad enough to finish off there resto i cant see the problem with them paying whatever price they see fit.
where else will you find these items.
People will pay what they want to pay and that's the end of it. Good luck to anyone who gets good money for their parts i say!!

FoMoCo, it's strange that you consider me to be an eBayer who is willing to pay over the odds for items, who has even paid (apparently) a platinum price for one of your items, but you are not concerned about annoying me with your comments. The customer isn't always right, but he's always the customer and sometimes the seller should just bite the bullet and laugh all the way to the bank.
I don't think it was necessary to publish my eBay Alias alongside my RSII Username on a public bulletin board.
The comment made on "platinum" accelerator pedals ensued after a discussion whether they should be called rubber or plastic and was made in jest. This should be no reason to suggest fetishism on my part.
I DO have virtually unlimited resources for buying bits as you imply but, unless you want to p.m. me to smooth the waves, you can form your own opinion as to whether those resources will be spent on your parts in the future!
Just out of interest Dasadrew, what is your story - where abouts are you on the continent, what cars do you have etc. etc.
I might as well chip in since everyone else is. I always thought the idea of an auction was to get as much as possible, ie whatever the buyer was willing to pay. I myself have paid over the odds to get a part that i was desperate for, to finish a car that was worthy of it in my opinion. Who are we to judge what anyone wants to pay. Let them get on with it. Lets see more ( and better) MK2`s on the road. Rant over.

Calm down , calm down .......we're all friends on here , don't turn into the RSOC BB (bit bitchy of me)
Just to put my oar in , I have bought off ebay in the past for RS parts , like RS Custom says, set yourself a price and stick to it , if you loose out find another . Just like when I beat Dave to a 69 litre tank by 50p , even if the guy did mail it to Dave afterwards by mistake !!!!!!

I'm probably a relic of a past age of short trousers and school caps but I find it so nice to exchange on the 'net without every second word being f**k or c**t !

Ders, In all honesty I don't see a problem with people knowing who they are dealing with.
I guessed Gary was H75AB, I know Daves eBay name and many others - they are all set in "My Ebay" so I can keep a check on what's going on.
Nobody has got anything to be ashamed of, or anything to hide, the more people know what's for sale the better as far as I am concerned. It is good advertising - and free to boot.
We are all enthusiasts who have a love of Mk2 Escorts, I , like most others have paid over the odds (and these are my own self imposed odds by the way) for parts that I HAD to have.
I wish Gary the very best of luck (and no I am not being insincere) in all of his auctions both still running and in the future. :thumbup:
Nobody is ripping others off - as has been said it is an AUCTION, and when people pay a lot of money for an item ; that is there perogative, who are we to judge ?
for info my ebay name is quattrouk

Not that i want to keep this thread going but i feel i need to answer this.
I am not trying to annoy you, that would be how i felt when i saw this post
linked to my listing and telling anybody that read it that they were way over priced. That can only cost me bids.
The platinum reference was made months ago with my listing of i think it was the fuel line clips.
Your ebay name has been edited from my post.
I did not imply anything about your resources that would be none of my business,as for the pm i wont hold a grudge with anybody in this thread
if you want to bid on my items that is completly up to you, my point from the start.
dasadrew
06-10-2004, 19:09
OK, FoMoCo. You obviously want to win this one, so I capitulate now. You're right. eBay is there to get as much money as you can out of stuff. It's a great shame when bidders get scared off thus reducing the sum achieved. You're right all the way. I agree wholeheartedly.
I was living in a dreamworld where I was using eBay as a nice way to avoid throwing surplus in the dustbin and have even given away leftovers free after non-bidding for the price of the postage to interested parties who mailed me.
I didn't realise (honestly! I know it sounds naïve!) that 30 year old Escort parts can mean real dollars. You have, in actual fact, done me a favour as, when my resto's finished I've got 2 x NOS 69 ltr tanks, 2 x 44IDF Filter Boxes, 8 x 44IDF Filters and a few other rarities which will go on eBay with the maximum publicity and a good reserve!
Thanks again (no, I really mean it!) for waking me up from my quaint little Hobbit village existence. And just to show we're chums again - OF COURSE I'll bid on items you've got if I need them!
Bye for now!

Rob - I personally dont mind anyone knowing my user name either, which is a bit of a giveaway "Ders1888", its just that some like to remain annonymous and thats there decision. Anyway, less of this pish and back to important stuff, have you any stickers made for a genuine RS alternator? And do you still want a genuine quality control sticker for the boot to get copied?
CheeRS Ders.
Mr Hoarder

Hmmm, Alternator stickers - I hadn't thought of that - what about the starter motor too ??
I'll borrow the quality control sticker from you Ders if that's OK, I've got a printers next door to where I work, so I'll see him for a price - I bet he needs to do about 10,000 of them :rolleyes:
No problem Rob, will bring it to spares day.

Just catching up on here - been out of the country since Wednesday night.
Like Gary, I don't wish to drag this issue on but would like to add my thoughts.
Earlier this year @ the N.E. Scotland R.S.O.C. Regional Day whilst speaking to Gary & Ders he commented that he had recognised my username & noticed that I had bid on one of his items [and lost!] not knowing he was the seller. He informed me he had more than one of the items in question and not only sold me one for what he had paid for it, he also delivered it to Cumbria the following week!
'Nuff Said ?
CheeRS Neil.
1888 - its the amount of mk2`s i have owned :iconbiggrin:
Not my date of birth Dave ya cheeky ****er! LOL
