Strokermjcomanche Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 A guy is selling a drivers side NOS tail light initially for $299.xx + 18 shipping . Of course he can ask what he wants for it , and the new tail lights bring good money . What I don't understand is when i seen the listing today he raised the price to $325 + 18 shipping . If you want to ask a high price and go down that's fine , how do you justify going up?
HOrnbrod Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Perhaps his greedy financial advisor recommended it. :shake: And some idiot will probably buy it.
Strokermjcomanche Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Someone better hurry and buy it before tomorrow when the price goes up to $350 lol.I hope he gets it too , maybe I can cash in also .
glundblad Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I remember one of those things showed up on ebay a couple years ago. The guy didn't do a good job posting it. I ran across it with a $40 buy it now. Be patient.
glundblad Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I should also point out that both of my tail lights are probably newer than anyone elses on the forum. They have probably seen less than 40 hours of direct sunlight. I had a pair of used tail lights in reasonably good condition on it before. After I installed the new ones, I really don't notice a difference. My point is, if you are restoring, this would probably be one of the last things I would consider spending good money on. I spent slightly less than $200 for both mine. I don't think it was worth it and I am pretty picky.
HOrnbrod Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Hmmmm. The seller is in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We have a member from the same place. Naw, can't be the same guy...................
kansashogan Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 kklimer87 was selling the same tail lights on here and ebay. I was going to buy them off here but once he got a bid on ebay he was stuck. Won't be doing business with him.
Minuit Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 If there aren't any cracks or other damage, wetsand and clearcoat your tail lights. If you do a good job they'll look great for 10% or less of the cost of these.
krustyballer16 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 indiana junk yards have been good to us. i think we have 5 or 6 good pairs and a couple that would be ok as replacements if we were to sell any.
HOrnbrod Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Good to know. Of course, that applies to most everywhere. Plastic doesn't rust, fortunately. :thumbsup:
jimoshel Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 But it sure cracks and crazes. unfortunately :???:
gogmorgo Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Nope, totally not this guy. If I had some NOS taillights in my possession, I can assure you they'd stay that way! Also, I'm not quite so fiscally savvy as that... ;)

gogmorgo Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 But now I'm kinda wondering who it is, and what other goodies they might be willing to part with... At less obscene prices, of course.
johnj92131 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 But now I'm kinda wondering who it is, and what other goodies they might be willing to part with... At less obscene prices, of course. How about using the Ebay "ask seller a question" feature?? I would try telling him you are local and would like to inspect the tail lights, just to make sure Ebay doesn't think you are trying to purchase outside of Ebay.
Strokermjcomanche Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 Sold for $289 + 18 shipping .So I guess a pair would go for $600 plus ?

Anyone here wants an NOS set of tail lights - I will sell you my set for $550 - But only this weekend!! Seriously, prices like these make me wonder why I keep things like the NOS tail lights or my HESCO aluminum head. And half the other "spares" I keep that I will likely never uses. Things like 4 extra tail gates, 3 sets of bucket seats, a spare Drawtite rear hitch and a factory step bumper. Then again, Anita has an explaination: I am just STUPID.
shelbyluvv Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I'm not complaining about your hoarding issue. I got a smoking deal on a SnugTop for my MJ from you!
Pete M Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Seriously, prices like these make me wonder why I keep things like the NOS tail lights or my HESCO aluminum head. A same reason we all do... cause they are cool! got my NOS bedside hanging on the wall next to my MJ racing poster. :D no NOS taillight in it though. just a nice looking one.
jimoshel Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I believe the proper term for most of us is PACK RAT.

So Pete, does this mean I should expect your check on Monday? Those NOS tail lights would look GREAT just stacked in the bedside!
Pete M Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 not sure I could scrape together even twenty bucks at this point in time. :(
