Loads of Brand New RS parts rare ones too

[Judge_Fudge]

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.

[RS2000CUSTOM]

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 ?

[SIGYELLOW]

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!!!!

[RS2000CUSTOM]

Explain !

Have heard of someone having a Giraffe (laugh) but never a Toffee Crisp - lol lol lol

[FoMoCo]

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.

This Ebayer is a regular on this BB !

He always has good kit for sale

cheeRS..

its a shame he just put ford rs200 (new) as the header, i have to go sifting through all the auctions, to find out that i they arent what i need.

Thats the idea.

h75ab is a good moniker too - isn't it GARY LOL

My eBay name is good old Mr_Hoarder :thumbup:

Whats with the naming Rob.
Yes its a good alias its also a good ebay listing.

Pedal rubbers/plastics now £48.50 I bought the acc and the brake ones today with 2 courtesy light switches for £10 from Ford LOL

admittedly no acc pedel yet

Mud flap clips £55 has the place gone nuts

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!

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)

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]

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

[Dermot]

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!

[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

I thought it was the other Gary

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:

[vinny]

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.

[Chesney]

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!!

Absolutely Brian, I know Paul - he lives quite close to me, I wish my missus would let me spend that sort of cash on my car !

[dasadrew]

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!
