November 22, 201311 yr Author comment_436646 that would be a little too rich for me most likely. the last set i saw on ebay was closer to $300 than $400 (though there may have been others listed after). i might be able to talk myself into them in that range ~ after a couple shots of tequila.

November 28, 201311 yr comment_437019 Hi Rob. Did you get an answer from the z shop? I may be able to help you with a NOS or close to NOS set. Let me get back to you after the holiday. This is Matthew Mathosian from Long Beach, NY. If you go by the same username on eBay I've bought a number of items from you in the past under marvelous240. Speak soon.Matt Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/47253-source-for-datsun-door-sill-thresholds-newnos/?&page=2#findComment-437019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 6, 201411 yr comment_439089 now it looks like sets are going more in the $599.99 range now with free shipping... that would be a little too rich for me most likely. the last set i saw on ebay was closer to $300 than $400 (though there may have been others listed after). i might be able to talk myself into them in that range ~ after a couple shots of tequila.

January 6, 201411 yr Author comment_439119 yep... i'm partially responsible for that. not that i control the value, unfortunately. i finally located two NOS sets from different sources... bought a bottle of cheap tequila, and bought both sets for roughly $500 per set. i figured one set may be better than the other... but once in hand they were both equally nice. the set that just sold for $599 was one of mine. i basically broke even after i covered the shipping/insurance, the $60 to ebay, and $18 to paypal. so... i have a set for myself, and i guess i'd buy another for $400 if the opportunity came along... to sell some other day. no tequila required.

January 21, 201510 yr comment_462239 I noticed them, with your description of slight damage. That was a good deal. Last few sets I watched went for $425-$599 range.  I just sold my pair on ebay for 349 shipped. PayPal charges a lot of fees though damn.

January 21, 201510 yr comment_462242 I should have asked a little more. Ebay charged me a whopping 38 dollars for fees plus paypal was 12. Then I paid 20 for shipping . Hopefully they went to a good home. My car will never be worthy of such a rare new part. Sadly enough..
