defender /90 wings on e-bay ( is he serious)

On or around Fri, 23 Jul 2004 21:38:50 +0100, Andy enlightened us thusly:

optimist. I doubt they'll make 400. having said that, the inner wing plus outer wing plus headlamp panel, unpainted, is about 120 from Paddock. They appear to have at least the indicators and sidelights (which are cheap), may have headlights, doesn't say and I can't see. Dunno how much the rubber eyebrows are.

so you're talking not far short of 300 to buy unpainted ones, which you still have to paint, the only real problem is that dent, which could be sorted with filler.

yeah but 400, i keep having a peep back, some kind of morbid curiosity i suppose.

i wouldnt mind a pair of 90 wings but id consider 50 each expensive, but then again i do come from yorkshire!!!

He's an idiot.

Even allowing for buying two complete wing assemblies from Craddocks, this would only total about £400, and those wings are not brand spanking new, by a long shot.

That's the "Buy It Now" price for someone in a hurry. He who won't wait will pay through the nose.

Don't see anything wrong personally as the price is presumably aimed high to indicate a value and encourage bidding. Didn't work though, did it? Bidding closed with no bids. So maybe someone could have bought them for £100.01.

Look at this Ebayer's feedback. 100% positive and some nice comments when buying and selling.

you couldnt have bought them for £100.01 because there was a reserve on them , Just waiting to see if he re-lists it.

as I said, price up new non-genuine ones... cost you nearly as much. especially if they have headlights in 'em as well as the other lights.

Maybe the dent was put there by a really (in)famous person ? Like 'this dent was made by Johnny Cash when he fell over and bought the farm' ?

And what is the reserve? I think the point has been made.
