Does the price these vent windows are going for seem a little HIGH!?! Not only that, there is still five freakin days to go!

I know they say they are NOS, but maaaan.

New old stock...meaning never been removed from the package, and if it was, never put on the vehicle (as in this case).

BALDMIKE · 07-11-2005, 12:57 PM

Those are a F@cking ripoff !

I was planning on bidding on them but not now, lmao.......

steve k. · 07-11-2005, 02:01 PM

People bidding are to blame, not the seller. Opening bid was $10.

Was tinited windows a factory option?
If so was the tint in the glass?

84 PUMPKIN · 07-11-2005, 02:24 PM

Three different bidders over $250.00 should tell you something.

Reproductions are $340.00 ($169.95 each) so this price is not out of line for NOS GM parts. I paid $150.00 each for GM vent assemblies in 2001 when I restored my '79 K10 and it was money well spent.

bigblock73 · 07-11-2005, 02:47 PM

I had no clue assemblies went for that much...wow!

Looks like I will be rebuilding mine on my own, can't afford to pay that much for something that doesn't sound too hard to rebuild.

**Captkaos** · 07-11-2005, 03:02 PM

Ditto, Prices are inline as far as Factory and Repro goes. They are a pain to rebuild too.

75stepside · 07-11-2005, 03:02 PM

i rebuilt too sets... kept one for my project, and sold one on eBay w/ high hopes of making some $$$ - sold 'em for $150 shipped... not too bad, but $40 was spent on the new weatherstrip to rebuild 'em....

i'd much rather spend $40 and some of my time, than $300!

Paso76GMCstepper · 07-11-2005, 05:37 PM

WOW

I just redid mine I didnt think It was too hard. I stripped them, repainted, new seals, new rivets evrything. Old glass though.

Maybe I should sell em...........nah then it would be too windy.

I cant belive it either....someone really really wants them.

84 PUMPKIN · 07-16-2005, 10:13 PM

$671.51 for vent window assemblies. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No sh*t! But, if I had the money and no time to rebuild mine...I'd pay that much I guess. I bet the seller is pretty happy with what he/she got.

BALDMIKE · 07-17-2005, 02:35 PM

They better be damn happy with $671 as a selller, LMAO !

1987 Shortwide · 07-17-2005, 03:02 PM

Time to raid the junk yard and start rebuilding...

FLAGG · 07-17-2005, 05:58 PM

I raided the junkyard once and found a brand spanking new drivers side assembly behind the back seat of a truck, along with a set of driver and passenger side main glass. Took the quarter window assembly and paid a whopping $10. I still have it in my shed, waiting for a door to get installed in. Just wish I had taken the other glass as well.

Wonder why he/she needed the pair, they recently won an auction for a right NOS assembly for $137!
