Default Re: ZR-1 Plug wires for $456

I paid $655 and it was worth every penny. Limey is selling a used one for $200+ more then I paid.

Makes me wonder what Limey would charge if he had a new one??

I never had oil cooler lines nor did I sell them for $500. Where are you getting your information?

Read my thread slower this time, I've only sold 1 ZR-1 specific part (in 8 years) and it was not on ebay, it was directly to SGREG.

I really find this thread comical as your entire business is Ebay based and your prices are all at a PREMIUM.

Again, I think you owe me an apology because you have the wrong guy, now you are saying I sold oil cooler lines?? Ask phrogs how often I email him about oil cooler lines or look how many times I post in threads asking for oil cooler lines.

Yes, it would be nice if people came here first to sell their stuff. Back to my point above, though. If we bitch about the price they want for their stuff and they are in business, they will sell elsewhere. Everyone has the right to pay what they want to and each item is precious to someone. Nice guys like Jim probably don't want to piss people off and take the heat so they offer their stuff to a world market. It's just less hassle regardless of the associated fees.

Based on your replies, would I be correct in saying your 1st name is Jim? forgive me, but I have no idea who many of the people 1st names are on the forums

When I am emailing in my posts "Jim" I am referring to Jim AKA JVD

It was my understanding you purchased a set of oil cooler hoses from JVD on his eBay auctions last time round a few months back, if that isn't true, then I do owe you an apology, but what else I owe an apology for is perplexing?

My 1st post in this forum was that you paid top dollar for the NIB housing, I see nothing wrong in that & nothing pointed towards any hostile or negativity in my postings. The USED housing on my site was sold 6 months or so ago hence stock is set @ zero.

Over the past, you have most definitely got excellent deals on eBay:
i.e. Fuel pump - air duct etc, but & this is a big but, you have also paid top dollar for items & that is what my post was directed at & nothing more.

I've had these LT5 wires ready to pop and 100% identical to GM OEM for the past 3 years. The problem is GM Licensing, they will NOT approve it! Until they approve the use of the LT5 Corvette name, nobody in any right state of mind will manufacture them.
Their reason for not approving, they say that because you can still buy plug wires from them, they do not want to approve re-mans. When the 628D is discontinued, they MAY approve, until then count on $500.00 per set for LT5 wires.
