Most overpriced part ever!

This price is just ridiculous. Guess the thirdgen community is next to start getting our prices crazy high.

Keep in mind that it is not new. It has been dyed and reconditioned.

Re: Most overpriced part ever!

I got lucky and got a mint Camaro pad for 60 bucks about 6 months ago. Met the seller at a local car show. Someone at the show told him they would give him 20 for it. He didn't have the pad with him at the time. I told him if it was as nice as he said it was i would give him 40. I thought he was blowing smoke when I didn't here from him. A few weeks go by and I get a call. He actually drove it to my house. I gave him an extra 20 and told him I would take as many as he can get. That price is totally ridiculous. I know the birds are a little more refined but man. I can't really justify paying too much for a used dash pad especially knowing how they are prone to cracking.

Re: Most overpriced part ever!

The only thing that's rare is the fact that it's out of a 85 and is not CRACKED

Re: Most overpriced part ever!

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous, but there will always be clueless sellers on parts regardless of what they are. I recently saw a set of tan front seat-belts (used), just the front ones, and the seller was asking $250.

Thankful for junkyards.

Re: Most overpriced part ever!

If it was redyed they did a poor job of it. The color appears faded and uneven.
