eBay RC-15 silliness

[Patrick H.]

Hello all,

No this one isn't about the $400 that is often paid for restored but very correct radiator caps.

Here, someone paid over $130 for a cap that was NEVER installed on a production Corvette. That's 10x what I have recently paid for the same cap to use as a service item on my Corvette.

Someone please direct the buyer to the Winter 2006 edition of the Corvette Restorer.

Well! I see it happen every day, I watch 55 parts and write those they are paying Big bucks for the wrong part once in a while even sellers that are selling a non-Corvette part saying original NOS and so on.
Do I get a response NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Will it ever end?

Is it really that much different then going out right now and paying 300,000 for a house that might be worth 150,000 two years from now?

Re: eBay RC-15 silliness

A couple years ago my buddy was thinking about buying a mopar hemi car for around $8000 I told him your a "silly guy" if you don't take my advise and buy a vett instead. I told him those mopar hemi's were going nowhere and he'd be much wiser investing his hard earned cash into a vett....because they don't lose their value. He didn't listen to me and brought the hemi...now who's the "silly guy"? I wouldn't want to bet that the guy buying that cap could possibly double his money in 5-10 years...anything is possible I've come to learn. Question his investment...I wouldn't dare

One thing you can't blame the seller as the picture shows what it is. I need to sell some myself at that price.

Where do you find a house for ONLY $300k ? $300k won't get you a two car garage in So. Cal. As for a 50% drop in price - location, location, location, population, population, population.

Building a 2500 sq ft one now and trying to stay within 300,000 including the mountain view acre and 1/3.....if i could only get that 3 car garage instead of the 2 car and stay w/n budget......still can be done on the east coast. BTW

Re: eBay RC-15 silliness

Prices are much higher on the West coast because land is a 'perishible commodity'....

We lived 18 miles inland in San Diego for 11 1/2 years--always figured when the big one hit, we'd have beachfront property.

Where can you buy a house for 300K? *NM*
