Remember, it's not the price of the part that matters to some people, it's the fact that it's a genuine GM part which will dictate the price.

I agree 100%, if the fact people can load yet another repro part onto their car for cheap makes them happy, so be it, but true NOS pieces (not put-together, parts missing, etc. setups like the one in question) will continue to command top buck from the purists... I never did see cross ram setups changing hands by the dozen at 20K+, now OR before the repro stuff was being made, that was one or two guys who fought over a beyond the oridinary, totally perfect and NOS setup. As was stated, once these select few got what they wanted, the prices settled back down... when someone else decides they "have to have" an NOS GM crossram, the price will likely spike again. I personally think it would be easier to sell an NOS GM setup for 20k than it would be to sell a "brand new" totally fake, reproduction setup for 5k. JMO.
