dndrodshop Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Just saw the prices for P15 parts on ebay for the first time in a couple months Quote
greg g Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 You are apparently referring to the sellers looking to win the Lotto with one sale or the buyers who have apparently recently won one thereby making cost no object??? Gettin real rediculous out there. Like over 100 bucks for a set of rusty head bolts.... Quote
james curl Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 I bought new for less than $75.00 from the wholesaler. Quote
Robert Horne Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 These high selling costs on some item is not just on P15s, or Mopars. I just bought a new set of mirrors for a Ford Truck for alot less than the used ones are listed at..... The salvage yards around this part of the country are very high also. In many cases, I can buy a complete car for less than the cost of an engine at the salvage yards.... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Well, hey........if ya have a new clock or lighter.......you may be able to pay for your next cruise. I was fortunate to find many parts needed for my P15 when I first got it in the 1970s. What I probably paid $25 for back then, would cost you $1000 at ebay prices today. However, the bad news is -- I have to buy things nowadays, so I try to find the best buy I can. Bought stainless rear fender welt from Dennis Carpenter a couple weeks ago for $25 per side plus $10 shipping in an 8' long cardboard tube. Some places want at least $35 shipping on the item, perhaps using a PVC tube, saying it is an oversize package. Quote
oldmopar Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 a lot of the items do not sell they just keep relisting them (ebay give free listing for non store sellers) So mostly people trolling for a big fish. Quote
Don Coatney Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Gettin real rediculous out there. Like over 100 bucks for a set of rusty head bolts.... Cleaning out my garage last week I ran across a set of rusty head bolts from my first car a 49 Plymouth. I tossed them in the trash. Guess I should have stuck them on the bay. Quote
