Title: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: mirafioriman on September 15, 2012, 09:13:49 PM Surely this is a mistake and they are not seriously expecting to sell one for this price?

Post by: mirafiori76 on September 15, 2012, 10:05:48 PM It must be a mistake. Such a high price. Did you know this thermostat was used in 131 Abarth as wel...?
Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: mirafioriman on September 15, 2012, 10:11:53 PM It must be an Abarth one then ;)
Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: mirafiori76 on September 15, 2012, 10:14:20 PM Even though...it's price is too high. I have one on my abarth for 30 Euro's.
Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: Tas131 on September 17, 2012, 09:48:25 PM They've made nearly 30,000 Ebay sales, so idiots obviously buy from them.
Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: Sev131 on September 18, 2012, 10:03:47 PM I don't think it is a mistake.
This seller is Avanti tuning or was. Priced up a Strada 130tc track rod end at 213 pound something >:( Absolute joke...i am in the wrong game! Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: mirafioriman on September 18, 2012, 10:07:38 PM 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. Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: mirafiori76 on September 18, 2012, 10:21:49 PM Like i said, i got one (Abarth) for 30 Euro's. Surely i am in the wrong game too. :o
Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: Thotos on September 19, 2012, 01:06:14 PM 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! :o

Post by: Thotos on September 19, 2012, 01:26:39 PM If it is a mistake, it seems they keep making them >:( If you think the Fiat thermostat is expensive, see how much they are selling an Alfa 159 thermostat :o

Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: Thotos on September 20, 2012, 01:30:49 PM I really don't understand what Redlineparts are doing :-\ >:(
Trevi fuel pump from Redlineparts ?1,977.85 :o 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 (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 (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 (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? ??? can't see the advantage in that.... Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: stathe174 on September 21, 2012, 06:43:07 AM Maybe they have an automated system and they made the wrong adjustment...
Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: Thotos on September 21, 2012, 09:56:28 AM Or maybe the price is in Japanese Yen ? ;D
Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: Thotos on September 21, 2012, 12:49:05 PM A possible reason for this as offered over on the Lancia Beta forum is that eBay shops pay for listing an item so when the stock runs out they put the price up to something ridiculous to make sure they keep the listing going hoping that nobody will try and buy one at that price. That way they don't have to withdraw it and pay again for listing it when it comes back into stock. Sounds feasible but I don't know enough about eBay shop rules....
Title: Re: Is this a mistake?????? Post by: strada on September 26, 2012, 08:40:54 PM this guy is just down the road from me.. they advertise thousands of parts on ebay (search the words" fiat strada" and u'll see what i mean) so i assume they have an automated system that has aquired a glitch. it wont be the ist time a computer has gone wrong, i'll drop in one day and ask.
for the record avanti motorsport's ebay id is "redmist racing". redline carparts are a seperate entity entirely. |
