yeh if it was all you needed to finish of your complete build you would pay it.
i just paid $150 for nos wiper arms and blades from japan after trying to find those little nuts with no luck for 6 months and they look awesome.

Some people would pay 1000 bucks to see the beegees. I'd rather have these vents. People have to remember that you can't buy these anymore. And if you want them, you are bidding against young guys without a mortgage or old guys without family commitments. Also remember with the Aussie dollar in the toilet, many other countries are still getting a bargain.

It's not like the old days anymore, where you competed only with guys in your suburb for the best spares.

If I was doing a gx5 project I might pay up to 500 for a cosmetic part that is known to break and crack. Will be an interesting auction.

CRIKEY..... hoo's laughing now!!!,
i recon theres a few bummie bidders going on there

Question been asked: : If these are brand new originals, moulds should be made of them! Oh Yahoo Japan they are paying a premium for remakes of these ($250+) because they were only a GX option there and are rare to come by in good shape. Just FYI I guess. ....:

maybe theres a market there, i recon they pretty fiddley to make moulds from.....i could be wrong!

i think the bidders are all suffering from a bad case of "GX" syndrome!!!

my point made, its only a piece of plastic ... i went to grand auto motor wreckers (local datsun wrecker) and they charged $10 each for the little knobs that go on the heater controls, i only paid that coz its all that was needed to finish of the dash

for NOS in box (or with lol) i might pay $150 delivered

Well o.k Lets put our highest price on em. I think even an undamaged (Do they exist?) pair is worth $100 and around $10 Registered post to most parts of Oz.

i understand that 1200 parts are starting to go through the roof and these kind of make sence as they are a NOS part but on that note there are people out there that are trying to rip people off and when you ask a price all you can see is $ signs rolling around their eyes so always be careful when buying stuff. good on all those guys out there that keep prices reasonable and look out for other 1200 enthusiasts, my hat goes off to ya's.

but there will always be people out there that will pay any price to have a part so good luck to ya's and just remember that i bought the same part a week later for half the price lol

its true dats_andy cant be the nice guy when ya doin business.

also to top the ebay stuff off i also sold a GX badge for the coupe started at $5 got $50 for it and it needed to be repainted :D but was in good con.

portugese fellas on ebay are really after gear and pay top dollar have sold to a few of them latley.

i think we awell aware of that

yeah seen that ppl will pay anything for them, so any 1200 parts i come accross i think il hang on to them for another 10 year at that rate, i have bout 30yrs in collecting datsun parts so il be right

it be no defferent if i was to throw sumthing ebay and let go, watching it go through the roof thinking i would be cheering
