Overpriced Ebay again?

The items are starting at fair prices. He has a fuel pump, started at £14. That's reasonable, but it's been bid up over £30 so far!

But in the end the buyer is choosing the price, so who's getting hurt?

People think just cos it's on ebay it must be a bargan, Husband sees stuff on there go for more second hand, than new at the shops if they could be bothered to look.

Finally went for 155GBP! The only reason I can see is that it was advertised as brand new, original, still in its box. One for the perfectionist, perhaps.

Seems bloody rediculous to me, even a recon SI/II spoked steering wheel is cheaper than that, and they are hard to find

OK, but some people would rather have genuine than re-conditioned or pattern parts, and are prepared to pay for it.

I don't know what a new genuine S3 steering wheel costs (they might even be no longer available), but £155 could easily represent a saving over the list price.

Not necessarily - people do this at auctions all the time. Reminds me of farm clearing sales - steel fence posts (used) almost always go for close to if not over new price! And everyone there knows, or should know, how much they are new. JD

As long as it's not your money why worry?
