I agree with Vader on his prices..... I was thinking $10k-$15k at most for everything.

Buying in bulk typically gets a discount to the buyer, not a surcharge. If the seller got $15,500 for this stuff he did GREAT. Additionally, on BAT the buyer pays 5% of the end price, as a premium.

Expensive load of parts that is not easy to transport or store. Would be interesting to see the math that got the seller to the $60k figure.

So did you guys ever think he was just using eBay as advertising with an excessive buy it now price? He was already committed to an auction with Bring a trailer even said so in the eBay listing.

If sold coming to a dealer or auction car soon. Can't deny they are nice parts but I don't see anywhere near ANYWHERE near 60k. Probably really was a non Olds person. Probably got it all in some big deal.
