Worth of round carbs

[Wally]

I just got word my Z therapy carbs are on the way. There is a $200 core charge.

My old carbs round tops, arent bad. Are they worth more than 200? would you keep them, get the core refund or sell on Ebay

There's a set for sale on here now for $250 and they look to be ready to go. That's cheap to me, the rebuild kits are $230. If it were me I would pay the $200 and keep them.

Seems like a good deal...i just paid 699 at Ztherapy

66.7 feedback. I don't remember seeing one that low. 

[Wally]

yep. her feedback is low  b/c she has only sold like a 3 things in the last year and 1 was a negative. Looks like the rest of seller history is solid.

I would be a negative too. Description says new floats. They were $200 5 years ago if you could find them.

I'm glad you went with ztherapy. Maybe you could sales yours to the ebay girl? I think $100 each is too cheap, they don't make these anymore.

Enjoy your new carbs. They'll make a big difference in your car, I think.

That means someone is making floats too. I'll read more tomorrow, thanks Jim. 👍

But that negative feedback was about a set of those SU's, "Leaky and bad carbs, severe lack of communication, didn’t want to give refund"

You'll be very happy with ZTherapy's work, I've sent them 2 sets and both came back perfect.
