Slp runners

Can someone explain to me what is going on with this? Am I missing something or are second hand runners worth more than the ones you get through summitracing. I priced a set through summitracing for 301.95. Everytime I see an acution on ebay they sell for a ridiculous amount of money. Should I go ahead and buy a set and sell them on ebay just to make $50 a sale. This is all I ever find on ebay when im trying to nab a used set possibly cheaper.

People on ebay always seem to buy stuff for crazy prices. You have a good plan for a quick 50 bucks and i bet it will work too.

That is pretty hilarious considering that the guy even gave people the summit part number that says you can buy them brand new for $301.95.. Some people...

Im gonna chime in on this one since that crap just GRINDS MY GEARS.

These idiots out there are causing ebay to be a selling market only and not a buying market. I have seen several things ive been looking for going for a higher price than what the part is brand spanking new. Are there people out there just that friggin dumb? I mean you can even get free shipping with SummitRacing.
What about these headers that are $45.00 (Buy Now) and the shipping price is $150? I just needed to vent about these people. Sorry.

Don't like it? Don't buy it? Can't blame people for trying to make a buck. Some people order out of the country where summit racing won't ship, some are stupid, some have money on paypal and just want to use it up.

I understand but I have been trying to get some runners for like a year now. I will eventually breakdown and get them from summitracing but I just have never seen anything like this. Almost everything i have ever sold used I barely got half of what i paid for it but somehow these slp runners are worth more used. for that past two months every auction of slp runners have sold for more than you can get them from summitracing and i dont get it.

I know what you mean shaggy you must be kickin your self since slp raised their prices from 249.95 to 334.95 i know i am. So im just gonna pay the extra 100 bux and go with AS&M. I like how the look just like the factory runners.

If i dont like it, I wont buy it. I dont need you to tell me that.

Im not blaming anyone for trying to make a buck. What im talking about is the opposite of undercutting.
