Ebay Fever

Someone is paying over $100 for an authentic air cleaner wing nut on ebay.
There are folks out there with much more money than sense. (IMHO)

......... but such a nice wingnut........


:rofl :rofl :rofl .......... wish I had a box full to sell.........

[bobs409]

Up to $132 now. :eek:

What the heck is so special about it??? I'm sure GM only used this "special" wing nut on those year Corvettes only.

Oh yeh, if I bought this, it would cost $8 dollars to ship it to me. :rofl

[dq409]

Then you could buy his used shocks at $3,500 to go with that nut !!

[models916]

Yeah but, don't miss out on the shipping deal !!!! I will combine for other items":clap

The average guy working for wages doesn't have a chance !!!

[Tic's60]

I do not know about some of you but I am heading to the scrap yard to pickup a few of those! Heck 10 - 20 of them could do wonders for the hot rod.
If you noticed there were several idiots who bid on it just waiting for another one to come along:brow

The average guy working for wages isn't dumb enough to pay that kind of money for a wingnut that was used on many GM vehicles in the 60s and 70s.:dunno

[dq409]

I still think we could get a premium price on used 409 oil !!!:rofl :D

[petepedlar]

I think I need to manufacture & patent a gizmo that will bottle pure 409 exhaust fumes......

not nearly as messy as used 409 oil.

If this trend keeps up, we won't be able to afford liquid 409 in a spray bottle, from the grocery store.:rofl :rofl :dunno :dunno Skip:)

[Bobaloo]

Now THAT is funny. Thanks Skip.

[tripower]

For Sale vintage liquid 409. I can combine items to save on shipping costs....:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl I will build a crate and secure with wingnut for safe shipping...:doh

[johnnyrod]

This is pathetic wing nuts going for that kind of money. I could repop them for half that.. Plus shiping. :rofl :rofl John

[wrench]

Geez! I found four wingnuts in my 409 parts stash!

I once, almost, nearly, came damned close......to listing the used oil filter from my 409 on ebay......:doh

But after my son got scolded for listing 'Absolutely Nothing' there, I chickened out.
I bid on it, too.

:rofl :rofl :rofl

I have a neighbor who makes his living on e-Bay. He buys stuff and puts it on e-bay and he says if you have anything that looks religious, people go crazy. Auctions are making a lot of people money but it is driving the old car market into the stratosphere. I would like to make money but I can't imagine someone being so completely insane to pay $134 for a wingnut, a stamped wingnut at that. This thing is a hardware store item. I have what I think all you guys have, a large coffee can that I have accumilated old Chevy bolts and fasteners in for 45 years. I need to put them on e-bay, you know the waterpump bolt that has 1/4 inch bolt sticking out of the head. I have a couple of them that I'm sure some idiot, pardon, some person would give me $150 for.:rofl :rofl Roy

[Bobaloo]

Oh man, you've got one of those? Was it cast in Baltimore or Waukegan?

Sorry, I had to...
