Recaros £1200 is this for real?

Doesn't that backfire on people sometimes? Or do they just withdraw the sale if no one legitimately bids on it?

 

Yeh heard on the radio not so long ago about one guy having his account cancelled, can't remember if he was fined or not though, I imagine he was...

 

It's called shill bidding and it's illegal.

I am so glad you guys have commented on this I thought the price was absolutely unreal!!!! I was only talking to a friend with an old rs turbo escort and he had picked up a full leather recaro interior for £150... I then as a joke looked at corrado recaro on ebay and almost died!!!!! If the guy had been ..."shill" bidding he needs seeing too. It pisses me right off when people abuse things like ebay. You could buy a high mileage C for 1500- 1800 with leather swap interiors and be quids in!!

I once sold an item on ebay that I reckon the highest bidder set up another account to outbid himself and get out of the buy. His 'original' bid was on a Saturday night at midnight...

The Recaros Ford put in their cars are so much better than these ones though!!

 

Even the standard Corrado seats have better thigh and torso support than these!

They're back, apparently relisted due to a timewaster (surprise surprise!):

I so love them :) but can't afford them :(

Seriously these Recaros aren't even leather. If these go for more than £400 the world will have gone truly, truly bonkers.

But then I said something similar before I saw Lamborghini Reventon wheels fitted to a MkIV Golf earlier this year. Perhaps we're already in Narnia...

It's gradually creeping up and still has several days to go... £310. How high will it go this time?

There was a set of MK5 R32 leather Recaro CS`S for sale recently for £2500 !!!!!

Nice seats but not £2500 nice :lol: :lol:

 

The going price for R32 Recaros, wish mine had them :(

Got the same set in mine, recaro badges look a bit dull on those.. Cant belive what they go for!

They sold for £730 in the end. That's a lot cheaper than the first time around.
