Saw your part on Ebay and it looks great but I think the price it reached is fishy, looks like your friends are bidding trying to get the price up as much as possible.

Why does it seem fishy? So because you personally would not pay that price for the item makes the entire auction seem BS?? I sell collector parts at collector prices. I would not pay 400 for a pair of vintage Jordan's, but thats just me personally... Collector item prices are all about the market, and how much a buyer desires the item because of its uniqueness or scarcity.

Here is a recent auction for a similar Ti gradient spark plug cover. This one was used and faded and it still sold for $359.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/290871175013...84.m1423.l2649

Is it so hard to believe that a brand new one would go for a bit more?

This ARC Ti intercooler pipe sold for $710!! Seems crazy, but again, collector item at a collectors price.

More power to you man but its way overpriced and I don't think this is a true collector item. 99% of people on this forum would not pay $450 for it regardless of new/used condition. Just keep using your buddies to drive up the price to $1000. Good luck with your sale.

Lmao why hate? It's a rare piece in mint condition.

If your not interested in the piece there's no reason to post.

Price isn't far off at all. There's obviously a bid for that price, so I don't doubt it at all. I get PMs almost weekly with people asking to buy mine.

I sold my used ARC upper intercooler pipe for $800 and an Injen upper pipe recently. People are starting to pay more and more for ARC parts as they become harder to find it seems...

They are rare as hell especially that one in particular. Being unused makes it uncanny. Glws op

Actually it was enough, but my reserve was initially set too high. I tried lowering it early on but after a few bids your not allow to edit pricing info. I was the idiot who typo'ed my reserve. When I noticed it, it was too late the item was already bidded on. So I contacted eBay. They said I could either end the auction or just let it run out. So I left it going thinking maybe I might get lucky.
