is what's pictured correct for any E-body  :clueless:

Is the rim blow can for E-body different than rim blow for A-body?

And for each, is rim blow different than tuff wheel?

I know the man and he's always been good with me. Having said that, he's a B body guy primarily and he may not be in the know regarding E body pieces all that well. I suspect he's fishing a bit and waiting to see what the results are. I'll advise him that the community's of the opinion that he's priced the stuff too high.  :cheers:

I'm pretty sure this is the same guy I bought the tan console from and shipped it to member Hemiken . He seemed like a nice guy. He is mostly into B-Body's   as Ian mentioned.     Funny some people comment on how much money some people ask for cars but I guess if the parts are priced high that would make the car high too?   There are some parts listed for sale on here from a pretty new member that seem "kinda" high as well, but can you blame a guy for asking/trying?  I have to admit I miss the days when Moparal and the like was around and we just gave each other parts that were needed. One extreme to another I guess?

I started this thread NOT to bash the guy for asking "high prices" , I just was floored when I saw the steering column piece for $200....They used to be dirt cheap....I though maybe "I was outta touch"  but I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who feels that is a lot of money for that piece.

I have lots of stuff listed on KiJiJi....for the most part, things are listed at give away prices, because I want to great rid of them. I've listed two items at "high" prices because I really don't want to get rid of them...Maybe this guy doesn't really want to get rid of his stuff ? :dunno:

You hit the nail on the head. People put high prices on things they don't care if it sells if they can get big bucks for it. I can't really blame them because some people will pay it. You can always tell when it's a tired of looking at it price. And it always sells. There's a guy I always see in Carlisle, big spot , lots of NOS parts and prices out of this world! Looks like he's had the same stuff forever.

There's a nice one over on the other site, ribbed one correct for E-body for $75.00.
You'd likely see the odd one at Carlisle for $40.00 in a few vendor spots

I'm out of touch. I sell stuff too cheap. Can't sell good stuff. People won't pay shipping. Sometimes ask friends if they have a part and they won't let me pay them for it, say "I'll need something some day".
