[88Jimmy4x4]

[Car'n'Guitars]

That's crazy!

[ont_guy_38]

Ya it's getting stupid..I can only imagine what that member on here would have got for that interior fold down cargo light on Ebay that was in the for sale section.

[88Jimmy4x4]

I can see if by chance the bids get that high, but this seller is actually starting high to begin with like its expected.

Pardon the ignorance, but what exactly is NOS? A stock part in great condition?

[64fleetside]

New Old Stock-its new, original parts that have been ona shelf for years usually.

[71maligreen]

nos is (new old stock) that is still new never used usually in the original gm package.

[71maligreen]

u think truck nos parts are bad look at some 67-69 camaro stuff or 66-72 chevelle crap wow!!!!! i saw a gm nos pvc valve for a 67 vette sell for 3000 had to ask the buyer why when u can get one at autozone for 2 bucks?? he said the originals are a hazey purple color and that matters in judging a rare corvette????

Here's how I look at that....If someones willing to pay that for something. I guess that's their buisness. Nobody held a gun to their head. Notice nobody bid on the band, He's just hoping somebody with an unlimited budget comes along and hit's buy it now. I gotta admit it is kinda interesting to watch.

I just hope the aftermarket people see the demand for such items and start reproducing more parts....be nice to have options

[INSIDIOUS '86]

That's stupid. That's not even a remotely rare band type either

To me the sad part is that I have bought all this stuff when GM was making it. I took it for granted and just bought new cause I could and they were cheap. Heck I've replaced fenders like underwear they were so cheap. $62.00 with tax. Now I am buying the stuff again for the 3rd time and it's killing me cause I knew what I paid for it before and still have the receipts!! Fortunately I know the parts guys really well and still get factory stuff that's been obsolete for years. My dirty little secret.

[bigblock73]

I am sooo tempted to throw up a NOS piece I have had for years, and have not seen another of...maybe I could retire, lol!

do it

[Firebirdjones]

Not that bad for NOS prices really considering what I've paid in recent years for NOS parts on some of our classic cars.

To look at it in that scenario makes the prices easier to swallow. What bothers me though is that we are talking about pickup trucks I've never viewed our trucks as collectable by any means and certainly don't think NOS parts for a truck demands those kind of prices.

Couldn't agree more. I always say it's just a truck. No truck is worth what they are going for. Heck not even the new ones. After all it's a truck!

bigblock73- Do tempt us with what the piece is?? My curiosity is killing me.

Wow , I have never heard of such a thing. I would love to see that. Guess I'm going to be doing some googling this morning.
