I came across a set of caps for the LS motor on Ebay and the seller wants $689 for 6 of them. :shock: Just because they are chrome plated doesn't mean they are worth that much. I figure $100 for a set of them would be a good price.

Must be a misprint, if you click on the item history on the right it shows them selling for $89.95. Unless the price of triple chrome plating went up recently..

Looks like a typo, since if you click on the ones sold they say sold for $89.95.
Darnit Blackarrow!!! You beat me to it :lol:

That's more like it. I thought $100 seemed like a fair price. Now I just gotta get the seller to post the correct price.

I just checked the sellers other listings and there's like 10 more auctions for the caps at the same $689 price tag. So I don't think it's a typo when all their other caps listings are crazy expensive.

For an ebay seller that big you can make a number of different auctions for an item by only filling out one page, thus mess up on one = typo on all of the auctions. And for someone with that many items up, it would be really easy to overlook until someone else pointed it out.

I know a lot of guys on the G8 Board that'll buy them, they have more money than brains.

I do like emblem pros. They make good items for the f-body and vetter crowds. Roger over there does really good work. I highly recommend them. They can make custom items as well. Send him an email. I'm sure he would not mind doing things for the G8.

I should sign up there, maybe I can develop some Vette parts and get in on some of the that free spending.
