If I find a pair in my barn does someone else want to pay 1800.00 ?

First, you are assuming, I guess, that I actually got $1800 for them. Maybe I did and maybe not. The buyer contacted me privately so I will respect his privacy.

Secondly, if you have a set in the barn (do you really mean "barn" or are you talking about that beautiful show room?) that are as nice as these, I can tell you the market will probably bear $1800. The last pair of truly NICE ones that were on ebay got over $1500 when they mysteriously were pulled. That tells me someone contacted the seller and made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

As long as the prices on the high dollar trailer queens keep going up, so will the prices on early NOS parts like this. Is it ridiculous? No doubt. Do I feel guilty? Almost, but not quite. Hey, oil may crash, housing may crash, and the muscle car market may go the way of the Ferrari market in the mid 80's. I decided to take the money while is was available. Funny thing is my wife bought a Krugerrand about the same time as I bought these weatherstrips. She paid $480. I paid about $25 bucks. She recently decided to dump some gold, and got $505 for the Krugerrand. Bet none of the 70's financial gurus told us to invest in GM weatherstrips.

Pretty funny, huh? Who knew.
