Surely this is a mistake and they are not seriously expecting to sell one for this price?

They've made nearly 30,000 Ebay sales, so idiots obviously buy from them.

Anybody paying that must be mad. They pop up quite often on ebay for reasonable prices.

I also got one from my local motor factors not that long ago for about ?25 at most.

It must be a decimal point mistake as there are a lot of these for sale on ebay at ?31.47 and not at ?314.70!  Shocked

If it is a mistake, it seems they keep making them  Angry If you think the Fiat thermostat is expensive, see how much they are selling an Alfa 159  thermostat  Shocked

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIRSTLINE-THERMOSTAT-RC230738P-TO-FIT-ALFA-ROMEO-159-1-8-07-OE-QUALITY-/110924659914?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19d39ffcca

Maybe they are supplying a complete 159?  Huh  Grin

I really don't understand what Redlineparts are doing  Undecided   Angry

Trevi fuel pump from Redlineparts ?1,977.85  Shocked

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QH-FUEL-PUMP-RC488197P-TO-FIT-LANCIA-TREVI-80-87-OE-QUALITY-/370650796695?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ALancia|Model%3ATrevi&hash=item564c825297

Same thing (practically, probably better than QH) from gsfcarparts ?64.80 and free delivery.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fuel-Pump-for-Lancia-Trevi-80-87-/300764898934?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ALancia|Model%3ATrevi&hash=item4606fc2676

Even original Bosch pump which is definitely better than QH is ?87.83

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BOSCH-0580464070-Kraftstoffpumpen-LANCIA-TREVI-Y10-MG-MAESTRO-METRO-Benzinpumpe-/260922914058?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item3cc037b50a

There must be a reason that Redlineparts advertise such ridiculously high prices but I can't think what that might be. Is it to be listed first when sorted by highest price?  Huh can't see the advantage in that....
