Allanw 1071 Report post Posted March 3, 2012 This guy brought my old E39 Angel Eyes headlights. Now he's trying to sell the used ones he's polished up (which won't last as the protective coating is gone) for MORE than I paid for the brand new ones! I'm always surprised at how many things sell used on trademe for more than brand new stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good for you though! I've been known to buy things online to avoid having to go into shops, and probably paid a bit more... I don't go overboard though! Those old headlights of mine are 12 years old, have had the coating polished off the polycarbonate, and are $60 more than the Hella ones I did the group buy for. I'm sorta thinking "Tell 'im 'e's dreamin'" except that someone might actually buy them! A mate of mine paid about $600 for a set of used genuine Xenons, but new xenons are $1800 a pair (complete though!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 I'd be placing money on weather on the fact he won't sell them at that price, unless some unbeknown idiot comes along that doesn't have a clue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really is surprising how often that happens though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
