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?
No.... he's fishin or desperate or both.
All of his prices are ridiculous. Check his other ads.
He's got to build up the retirement fund!

YIKES !!! :o
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:
That's an A body part right?
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".

I use to give stuff to everyone, still occasionally give stuff to guys I barely know but mostly just hang on to stuff these days...
When I gave away a 70 only B body split bench seat to a guy & didn't even get a thank you that pretty well stopped my mister nice guy stuff...
Also seeing a part I gave away a month earlier being sold at a swap meet didn't exactly give me a warm & fuzzy feeling....
I haven't sold more than a dozen parts in the past 20+ years... I have a few friends who I still swap parts with, if I need something they hook me up & if they need something I do the same...

Honestly, his price isn't that far off IMO. I was looking for a used one a few years ago and didn't find many. Most I saw were for the trucks(don't have a master spline) The ones I did see weren't in the best shape...rusty, dented, crappy looking horn contacts. Those were priced at $100. Reproductions have been out for awhile now. I think those sell new for $150. I found a deal on a new one for $125. Everyone says that reproduction parts are junk and that good original parts should bring a premium. So, $200 for a really nice used part doesn't seem too out of line. :alan2cents:
If that's in Canadian dollars then that 200 hovers around the $150.00 USD mark, give or take.
