His reserve is $200 each and Buy It Now for $249.99 plus shipping. Bargain?

I asked my local dealer a few weeks ago what they were going for now. Wholesale price was around $225.00. So, I say it's not a deal. You would have to add shipping to that.

If you know the sales guys, they will give you wholesale price. Check with the dealer.

Those aren't discontined either. Also, the boxes don't come sealed, they are closed with velcro. I've bought 14 of these this year for other people and myself.

I get a really good discount, but I paid 209 for the 81-87s and 195 for the 73-80s. If you do buy them, the original style washer bottle from a 73-75 won't fit the new fenders.

Don't get duped by this guys pitch.

No, I don't plan to buy these. Not ready yet, maybe next year I'll be ready. When I do, I'll sure try to get them locally and not pay the high shipping cost to get them here.

I just checked GMpartsdirect.com, the fender in the ebay listing is 158.70. They've got to be selling stuff at damn near cost.

So I see now why I got the negative on ebay for selling someone a 73-75 bottle. He never told me that he replaced the fender.

Tommy, you ought to send maxwelhse an email thanking him for the negative feedback nicely and explain to him if he has an aftermarket fender, the bottle wont fit. Copy the post to the email. He can always do a follow up to his negative feedback to agree with the explanation.
