THEY'RE IN DECENT SHAPE, BUT NOT AT THAT PRICE!!!!

dinnut · 12-13-2003, 11:36 PM

he's probably in the business of making money. and sees he has someworthing worth some coin. so hes trying to sell them for as much as he can

cableguy0 · 12-13-2003, 11:37 PM

i think he is on drugs for a grand the damn things better massage my @ss while im sitting in them and they sure as hell shouldnt be torn or ripped what a joke

pickup6772 · 12-13-2003, 11:41 PM

C'MON DINNUT, I'VE SEEN THEM SELL FOR HALF THE PRICE HERE, AND IN BETTER SHAPE.

D-Money · 12-14-2003, 12:15 AM

They are hard to come by but for that price nobody will have them.

ljbear · 12-14-2003, 12:36 AM

He's just really proud of them

dinnut · 12-14-2003, 12:38 AM

i know. a grand is insanely outrageous for buckets. i was just trying to imagine the motive for that price tag.

pickup6772 · 12-14-2003, 12:40 AM

A REALLY BAD DRUG HABIT LMAO

ljbear · 12-14-2003, 12:42 AM

Yep, gotta be bad, he's even selling his prized Avon Plush Puppy Earmuffs. Onlt drug addiction could send someone over the edge like that

**jerry moss** · 12-14-2003, 12:44 AM

i've bought complete driving trucks with those seats for less than half what he's asking and a few of them had tach's and/or speedwarnings too. i've owned at least 20 sets of those seats over the years and never paid more than 75 dollars for a set. the last set i got was from a local wrecking yard, i paid 50 bucks and the yard worker helped me take them out and load them in my truck and the original upholstery is still good. that was a couple years back. last year i bought a 68 CST longbed 1/2 ton 2wd 327, turbo 400, a-c, p-s, p-b, and buckets, original paint and a one owner truck, drove it home for 600 bucks.

*dtlilly* · 12-14-2003, 12:44 AM

I don't think the seller is on drugs or out of line for offering them for that price (or higher). It's his nickel on evilbay. Now if I clicked on that link and saw they were sold, I might suspect the buyer to be on drugs

mocwon · 12-14-2003, 02:11 AM

Simply put: Ebay is for sellers not buyers.

da-burb · 12-14-2003, 02:37 AM

Anybody price tow hooks lately? Things change. The bad news for the seller is they haven't changed that much, yet....only time will tell.

Huck · 12-14-2003, 10:27 AM

If they sell for that price----watch what happens to those on this board~~~~. It's all supply and demand. Our am/fm radios, tach dashes, speed control, etc. shouldn't bring what they bring either. If you had a set of early buckets----and saw these sell for $1,000. would you offer yours up for sale for $250.??? If so, why?
I've seen consoles sell for $175 on e-bay that we all know can be had for $20-30. and just get cleaned and repainted. I've sold black seatbelt sets for $30. only to see them bring $150. on e-bay. Some of our board's biggest recyclers started selling on this board only to realize the potential of a much bigger market (not necessarly smarter) on e-bay and now their prices reflect the e-bay market, not this boards. Whatever floats your boat.
After a while the e-bay thing becomes a real hassle with sellers and buyers who are BS or worse. I have probably sold $10,000. worth of stuff on e-bay over the past couple of year and only do it when absolutely necessary. Overseas sales are very risky and buying truck stuff is even worse. My .02

No3Fan4Ever · 12-14-2003, 11:25 AM

Very well said Huck

**BOSS** · 12-14-2003, 12:19 PM

I hope he sells them for that.Then i could trade mine for a set of tow hooks,tilt,and tach.......lol

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 12-14-2003, 01:52 PM

I gave $600 for mine and they were just re-done. Its all in what your willing to pay for what you want. If its not in your price range (this guy is WAY out of it ) then keep lookin. I always say if there's something you want "Stop Lookin" it will come along

MWD628 · 12-14-2003, 02:06 PM

MINES FOR SALE HERE AT HALF THE PRICE , AND IN BETTER SHAPE,, MAYBE I SHOULD LIST THEM ON E-BAY. (FS CST SEATS)

dons72 · 12-14-2003, 09:09 PM

Well said Huck, and I will be looking to see if someone buys them in case I decide to sell some parts I know who to offer them to first. LOL
