Hmm some people think these parts are worth a lot more than they are I think

The problem is when some knob pays these prices then they are accepted as the norm.
So much over priced stuff, where the seller seems to make a price up unfortunately, just trying to profiteer rather than consider a realistic value, reflecting original value and the ownership population.
Its driving cossie ownership to the rich folk, if the rich folk are interested in them and not exotic cars.

Parts are only worth what someone will pay.
Generally Cossies (incl whaletail) are pretty good to maintain, prices normally ok especially when you use breakers like North Yorks, RS Classics etc as they all are usually fair on prices
Only when there is a rare part it can be costly

i watched those weatherstrips go the other night, they went for very strong money but if you cant get them anymore then its worth what people are willing to pay!

Your post says " second hand prices "

these items are brand new

lol

And if you had spent thousands restoring your 3 door and wanted new weather strips then maybee you would be happy to pay that price

Those A pillar strips can be sourced from the states, i was part of a group buy a couple of years ago that had a set made by the company that made them for FMC in Mexico i think it was.

yes thats true the top one is ,but the bottom one isnt,but thats not the point ,i just mean that ive you /or me/or whatever bought a full set of arches and the middle piece included,for lets say 400 quid thats a price wich the set is worth ..maybe less or maybe more,but this guy is offering 1 arch for 330 euro,so deep down hes got to know it aint gonna sell,because its silly too ask that much,and sometimes your lucky like me ,and pay 20 pounds for a New original throttlebodypositionsensor
but thats never happens often ...
but all it the end its about supply and demand i guess, like rs500 bumpers and wings,...well maybe iam getting old and grumpy..........
