I was just cruising around on Fee bay, and saw this listing for a pair of tail lights....

Seems kind of high to me! Am I missing something, or is this a legit number?

He's a little optimistic. They are fully rechromed but still probably only worth no more than half his asking price.

lets just say I wouldn't pay close to that. It's ridiculous how much money people think they can get from their "stuff"

That's one way to put it. I may have used a slightly different description. :bong:

Yes a lot of money. Pot metal is not cheap to restore.... here is the seller's website. http://iversonautomotive.com/

How much/what are we talking about (for those of us with limited "vision" at work)?? If we're talking 69 taillight grilles, I paid $240 each for rechroming as I recall and this was some 5 years ago I would say. And they did not even remove all the pits from the tops (said it would have made the tops too thin). The repro's which became available after I had mine done are about the same price. Would have bought those if they were available at the time.

I guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder. That said though I stumbled across a set that is almost NOS condition that I paid $100 for and might be more intrested in selling if people are paying that kind of money for them.
