Do you really think he wants $5k for it or is he just pricing it out of reach for the clone makers? He might be hoping the real owner contacts him. Just trying to give someone the benefit of the doubt...

He states he is looking for the current owner. Pretty cool and it should add value. I'm sure some kind of deal can be made.

Re: VITAR COPO protecto plate on eBay
 

If you read it (I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt) it looks like he is using ebay to track the current owner down (and not just anyone with casual or nepharious sp? interest). Hopefully he will do so and ask only a nominal fee to reunite the POP with the current owner.

I hate the idea of purchasing documentation from prior owners - the principle makes me sick... documentation held hostage from the car purely for $. Being said, I have paid for the original documentation in two different instances for two different of my cars. It is a part of the hobby. I hope seller/buyer here can come to a price point that unites the paper with the car!

Maybe Stefano can help - here is the thread when he owned it.

I look at it like an original part of the car - if it was the original BE rear for 10k I'd buy it. Same with paper - it's just another part. Just because it's made of paper (or small metal) doesn't make it worthless.

I dont think that value being asked is out of line if a car had no documentation. If it added 10% to a 150K car, that would be 15K. He is only asking 3-4 percent really. Look what an auction company gets on both sides of a transaction, and you go after this guy for a measely 3%? I think its a fair ask.
