Re: There's gold in them there gates
I don't think there's a lot of value in people asserting they wouldn't pay for it. He doesn't need 500 buyers, he needs one.
Why don't you all wait until it sells (or doesn't) before deciding who's stupid, an idiot, or joking. Not usually with these trucks, but people do restore vehicles to high levels, and most serious enthusiasts about a particular type of vehicle can spot repop sheet metal, particularly when it's embossed like the tailgate. Also, take a list of his sold items. Would you pay $400 for an owner's manual? Someone did. Who's the idiot when a seller and a buyer agree on a price for a quantity-constrained item? So while you're all laughing at him and his customers, he's making money and his customers are getting products they want. Now I do see it as a different story for wear items. I bought a $250 repro R59 battery instead of a $1500 NOS unit because they only last a few years. [And no I've never heard of the guy, don't own a shortbox, and my tailgate is a minty original, even better than what passes for NOS a lot of times]
