Can you believe that the ashtray on ebay went for over $266!!!:eek:

I was a little disappointed because it went for ONLY $266. In my opinion it could have been a lot worse. Do any of you guys remember the $325 or so braided radiator hose a year or two back? Remember the "D" hubcap phenomena? Single hubcaps going for $330. I thought that was crazy.

I have started listing a lot of my old Z stuff which includes at last count 6 early ashtrays..keep your eyes peeled on my ebay auctions user name is weekendrides, usually i only list Porsche parts and rebuildable 911's on ebay, but every once in a while we put some z part up and last week decided to get rid of all of the Z parts once and for all after we moved them for the last time. I bought a new building for the Porsche business and am bent on getting rid of EVERYTHING Z car related I have horded for last 29 years.

Radiator hoses were crazy when I started playing this game of Z restoration. Although I had made up my mind not to buy braided hoses, I just broke down and bought a set for about $300. The funny thing about it was that within a week of buying the expensive ones, I found a lower hose and bought it for $66. The most I have ever paid for an ashtray is $25.
