If the bumper is "worth" that much just think how much a whole bus would make if it was broken.
Surely this whole over priced Vee Dub bus bubble has got to burst at some point?

Bend up a bit of tubing.

I think the ACME splitty round my neck of the woods has a bumper like that. It's only worth what people will pay. If he can get someone to shell out that much, then I suppose that's the going rate. I think Mk1 Escort prices are just as ridiculous  |

Someone, somewhere in the world will be prepared to buy it. absolutely crazy, the Sierra cossie stuff is stoopid too as i have said before, i think it was a splitter at £800 or summat that shocked me the most!

Seen the price of muscle car bits recently? An OE NOS bit of chrome trim for a Challenger which is just a flat bit of stainless about 6" long recently sold for $4000 on eBay. Seen some equally crazy stuff. The worst was a shifter bolt kit. This is a common generic bolt. Just the sort you can buy from any fastner supplier. But because it was in a GM supply bag with a part number IDing it as for a 1967-1969 Camaro manual 4 speed it went for $140. For one bolt.

Hmm... bargain! I think I might start selling rust, not sure if I should sell it per Kg or pound though for maximum profit, obviously shipping would cost extra but it would be 'rare'  |

Indeed the cossie stuff seems to fetch a lot of money these days. I recently heard of two RS500 bumpers (brand new) selling for £1000 a piece. Then there's the uncracked mk1 Sierra dashboards fetching a grand.
As AlistairK has pointed out before, you get peaks like this but it in turn diminishes the marketplace that supports the demand and the prices eventually crash back down.

Wow i have not heard of mk1 dashes worth that much. my thinking is its a design fault and they are a bit cheapy quality. Its only gonna crack if you take it out into the outdoors, i'm more than happy with my mk2 sourced old thing thats going in. Supply and demand gone mad! |
