Navan rear valances for S14 on ebay.....$300!?!?!?!

[ddgsxr504]

So I troll around ebay from time to time because every now and then a few nice *rare* things pop up on there.

After lookin for about 5 min I come across these....

OMFG, is this guy smoking crack.... $300! I bought a set from Panda Garage that were black for $145 and then a Pearl White set from Jspec for $150. I know that a nice pair is hard to come by but $300??? Thats not even including shipping.

Gai, DRIFT TAX has struck yet again ..

I bought all of my Navan conversions from this guy on Ebay and I did NOT pay the Buy-It-Now price on any of it. In fact, I got those rear valances cheaper than Panda Garage has them listed for on their website. One thing your link failed to show was that the seller had a "Best Offer" option on all his listings which I took advantage of. He is a very cool guy and he can get all kinds of parts if you need them. He has communicated with me the entire time and has been letting me know the status of my parts and when to expect them. He will definately get the highest feedback from me!

I bought the Navan floor mats, complete spoiler, front bumper, side skirts, grill, and rear valances from him and I feel he gave me an incredible deal on all of it! I have already received the bumper and the floor mats and all are in great shape! I have priced around online and he was my best option.

I have hired a body shop to install all of it for me including Navan fog lights. I bought a illuminated red push button switch from Radio Shack (Link: http://www.radioshack.com/prod...59591 ) to install on one of the blanks next to the defroster and hazard switches on the vent bezel trim that will control the on/off of the fog lights. I don't have time to do this stuff on my own and the body shop already fixed and repainted a small gash on the driver side door panel on my red S14 Kouki and they did an outstanding job and the price was right! They will be painting all the Navan parts to match the the paint on my S14 Zenki.

I can't wait for it to be complete!

[BrianHarte]

Oh, I guess I can see how the phrase works.

I don't think it's cool or funny, but I get it.

Actually my "link" didn't fail to provide anything, it is a direct link to the ebay item and IT SAYS BEST OFFER right below the buy it now button.

You can jack the price up all you want and then let someone give you a best offer, which ends up bieng retail price anyway but the poor buyer thinks he is getting a deal because it's half off original asking price.

I would like to know how much you paid for all your Navan items (seperately).

By the time I looked at your link that you provided, the Ebay listing says that it already ended, so the Best Offer option was no longer showing.

I understand that the prices were jacked up, but I got the parts I needed based on what I saw listed and inquiring from JSpec, Panda Garage, and other Ebay offerings. I offered a Best Offer according to the references that I found from searching the net, but I knocked off more money on every offer so it worked out to my advantage. The other online resources were out of stock of some of what I needed. I did purchase Navan Fog Lights from someone else besides that ebay seller.

[Kaitaiya]

[S13Joe]

I would say yes if the starting bid price was the sale price and included shipping.
