He left the real prices on the plastic bags when he took his pictures!

But he's offering FREE shipping!

C26Pinelake · 02-24-2016, 05:32 PM

At least he is honest which is far more than you can say for many. Wayne

Wish I could retire on 29 bucks

It's not what you pay for it, it's what some unknowing sucker will pay. Buyer beware

I don't get it??

I have to agree, I'm not a model A guy but it looks like a fair amount of stuff to me. Too many items for the average hobbiest, but a fair deal to the right person.

Yeh, those old prices might be in 1930 dollars, you maybe have been able to fill your gas tank with 95 cents then.

At least over here, when we see pounds/shillings/pence, we know it is at least pre 1966 prices.

BILL WILLIAMSON · 02-24-2016, 08:55 PM

I have a HUGE, OLD trunk, that's too BIG for Vermin, bet I could get $617.00 for it, on E-Bay.

Instead of a mockery you may be this guys best advertisement. Common consensus is that it appears to be good value for the money from an upfront seller. Wayne

Also agree. Out of the $29.99 he has to pay eBay listing fee, selling fee, PayPal fee, provide a box, shipping costs, and a trip to the post office.

A while back, I got a couple of boxes of random Model A parts from a seller on ebay. He would fill a flat rate box full of nuts, bolts, springs, small parts-whatever he had, and I didn't pay much more than the shipping charge. There were lots of very useful little bits in each box!

Likely if you only use a couple of those parts you will have your investment returned! Smart buy on your part. Wayne

Let's NOT be too hard on E-bay, Friend, Glen, bought a mess of Corvette parts there & the GUY threw in a bunch of REALLY RARE parts for FREE!!!

DougVieyra · 02-25-2016, 02:06 PM

If you deduct the $10 shipping cost, $20 is not a bad price IF you need the stuff.

wrndln · 02-29-2016, 10:27 AM

Don,
I am surprised no one has purchase it yet at $10.50. However, maybe the shipping is $12K. I guess I could make an offer to try to get it a little cheaper than $10.50. At least the seller would save a bundle on the eBay commission.

That sure beats this hose deal. You can get hosed on this one.

CarlG · 02-29-2016, 04:12 PM

Only $10,489.50 more than the original listed price.

That's because it only fits a Studebaker.

Capt Quahog · 02-29-2016, 11:50 PM

It's how you look at! The parts in total amount to about 13 ounces. The ignorant bullcrap weighs in at over 14 pounds.
