Ok, this is really crazy. This is your everyday AC Delco filter - not the original square chicken wire ones. I guess he hopes to snag an incredibly stupid whale at that price.
I have 5 of these filters, so I offered to sell him my filters at half his asking price....

I got some original tire air from a 70 Hemi Cuda . What can I get for that ?

 

If he can get someone to pay that price, more power to him. I have no problem separating idiots from their money.

 

Yup, he said the same thing Joe...

 

coming from a guy that gets absolute top dollar for nearly everything you sell......whats the problem?

 

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Ok- THAT was funny!

 

This guy is trolling for and idiot that will pay this stupid price. Somebody would have to be off their meds to pay this price. Maybe that is what he is hoping for.

 

Are you sure he didn't forget the decimal point in?.....9.95?????

 

"Vintage AC GM Air Filter A212CW 67 68 69 Camaro Chevelle Nova Corvette SS 396"

But, it's for the SS Corvette!
And the AC box has to be worth almost half that.
damn cheap at that!

 

I come from the other side of the street and wood rather not screw my fellow man over. I'm not saying sell for under fare market value but to screw someone that makes you a douche and worse than the person that over paid.

 

plus his shipping is high

 

He has some others in his ebay store for even higher prices.

 

I think it was P T Barnum who said "Nobody lost money underestimating how stupid people can be"......

Since your so interested in what I'm selling, you may have noticed that the majority of parts I've bought and sold are "W30" parts....not generic air filters.
Or maybe more specific to you Mark, an nos post rear 1/4. Sounds like a deal to me if you can buy an nos rear 1/4 for the same cost as an air filter ! So I guess top dollar is all relative.

 

I'm sorry that I can't find an unambiguous source for this, but I'm surprised that, as an Englishman, you didn't get the quote right.

It's "Nobody ever lost a dollar by underestimating the taste of the American public."

Apparently, it may actually be a quote by the great HL Mencken, but, as I say, I can't find a definitive source.

Im not interested in what youre selling..i made a comment just like you..

is it going to change the way you price your stuff because i said something? NO..nor would a comment on a forum will change the way i do business...or the way the filter guy is....

 

 

If he can get someone to pay that for a filter, and not give free shipping?
Respect.

 

I paid less than $10 with shipping for a Fram Air Hog filter for my 71 98. I bought it from Rock Auto. It is the FRAM reusable filter. It works like a champ.

 

Need we have to review the "Pet Rock" story. Yes, silly people will buy anything.

 

Fair enough Eric, but I think what I said is true all the same. Sourcing the correct origins of well known quotes is much harder than we might think.

I was just saying that the "... overfed, oversexed, and over here" (hope I don't have to give a history for that description of us Yanks) Brits don't usually miss a chance to bust the chops of their former subjects, and you completely left out the part about "the American public."

America doesn't have a monopoly on suckers........
