I don't need these tailight bezals but would like some of what he is smoking.
I've seen the 70-71 parts go for crazy, but 72-74 these are swap meet items for 50 bones tops.

Parts are just getting crazy. Yes the seller is in Cleveland, no it's not me.

I have an extra set in PERFECT condition that I was gunna put on E-Pay a while back, thinking I could get decent coin for them...until I saw what they are selling for!  I just kept them as extras, as it wouldn't even be worth my time to post them. 

This guy needs a clue.

As you can see there are 0 bids.   He is just wasting his own money to list that.   :dupe:

Dang, that's outragous!!!  I remember looking into a pair being sold through here a while back for $40.00.  I only needed the driver's side cause mine was a little crunched, so I contacted another guy through the board who was willing to sell me the single one for $20.00 +shipping.  It's great shape and even then is it in no way worth even $100.00 as my excellent shape pair.  Guys like these make me  :pissed:.

It's easy for me to sit here and criticize, so here I go.
1) - look at the other similar parts for sale. There are a couple of listsings that are as stated above, a single "pod" with an intro bid of 20 bucks. And even that isn't moving yet.
2) - Some are a little too lazy to check a swap meet - and having it UPS'd to your door is great, but man.. that price is insane.
3) - not even "mint". I consider my car "driver quality", and mine are better than those.

If the guy is realy trying to sell them, through them up for 5 bucks or something and let them take off on their own.
I've seen a lot of items "doomed for disaster" with a high minimum buy price, and then I've seen something start for a buck and then run wild.

IMO - Just someone parting a car or something trying to get rich with a few items of a car he saw sell for $50,000.00

what's worse is that even if someone were to need them badly enuff to drop that kinda cash, it's still missing a lense, anyway!!
