g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted June 19, 2015 What a **** take. im glad you thought so too Jim talk about trying to take advantage of a part being obsolete! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitcy 10 Posted June 19, 2015 Corrado premium :)I know these are rare but... What's the rubber like ? How old are they ? I'd be interested at maybe 150 cheaper delivered.... But... Mate the trim are new and sealed, air hasn't got to them. Light hasn't got to them either because they have been kept in that cardboard tube since they were posted to me (they've been hidden away from the elements). The date they were made is on the sticker (16/02/2010) Expire date (None) I was tasting the water with the £400, but I've already had an offer of £350 from a member here and i've told him i'm considering it. £400 What the actual f***!!!! Mate, i'd say if you owned them, they'd be priceless to you. I'm guessing i'm going to get a lot of haters for asking that price, but think of it this way... How much would you sell them for? I don't have a Corrado anymore and i still hate the thought of selling them incase i come across another Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) are you talking £350 or $350 dollars which is about £220, if so im interested ? okay you must of edited or I read it wrong Edited June 19, 2015 by delfinis38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 17 Posted June 19, 2015 Someone is going to be gutted when Karmannski gets his sorted!! These parts will get remanufactured, take the bonnet foam for example.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted June 19, 2015 Mate, i'd say if you owned them, they'd be priceless to you. no you would be quite wrong there. they would only ever be worth the amount I paid for them. plus as I have a conscience I would not feel right in heavily inflating the price. it is a shame that what you started as a potentially kind & helpful thread for others on this forum has simply become one of greed. I understand it is entirely up to you to sell them for whatever price you wish but it does not sit well with the generously natured community on this forum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand it is entirely up to you to sell them for whatever price you wish but it does not sit well with the generously natured community on this forum I don't understand why you're getting so upset. I'm trying to get as much as i can for them. That doesn't mean i'm still not a kind and helpful person. It's very unfair of you to call someone you don't know 'GREEDY'. If i seen something in a store window which is very rare and they were asking twice or three time the original price, i wouldn't say they were greedy ****s, i probably say to myself 'i wish i could afford that!'

I apologise if you have taken offence, that was not my intention. I am not upset, as I said it is entirely up to you how much you want to sell them for but in the knowledge they were originally nowhere near that expensive maybe 'taking advantage' is a better term than 'greedy' if the item in question was an antique which was 100 years old for example I would agree with you but it is not it is a part for a car, not only that but it is not even a functional part FYI frequent users & posters on this forum regularly see so called rare parts appear on here at very inflated prices compared to their original cost & it never goes down very well with the community. I will stop clogging your thread good luck with your ebay sale but I must say I hope the current project to remanufacture these is successful & sees them back on sale at a sensible price Edited June 19, 2015 by g0ldf1ng3r Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yandards 0 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Last set I remember up for sale on ebay went for over £400 and I was laughed at for paying £200 a few weeks earlier... as with anything its worth what people will pay for it.

joebloggsVR69 0 Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks mate, means a lot, i was starting to think the whole community had turned against me. Not at all. These parts are obsolete, and you're entitled to ask whatever you like for them. Let's face it, any other classic car where parts are obsolete, you'd pay through the nose for spare parts. If someone wants them, they'll pay for it. It's hardly your fault that VW has stopped producing them... Anyone saying that it's immoral, or that you're taking the **** is living in cuckoo land. GLWS :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 17 Posted June 19, 2015 I suppose if someone will give £400 for them (and they no doubt will), but you sell them for only £200, then it's like walking up to a complete stranger in the street and handing them £200. Nobody would do that! Does that make any sense???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
