zKars Posted February 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2016 $850 USD? And only lousy "Z" hub caps! "D' 's maybe, but "Z"'s ??? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NOS-72-73-74-75-Datsun-Z-240z-260z-280z-Hubcaps-Wheel-Covers-1972-1975-Hub-Caps-/182011340125?hash=item2a60b8a55d:g:mcgAAOSwoydWsRH9&vxp=mtr The asking price does not determine value, the final sale price does, but it just surprises me. The last couple of sets of these were ~$400 ish in this condition. He's had 3 offers. Would be nice to see what the offers were. Time will tell.

zKars Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted February 10, 2016 Then right below that auction is a more realistic (sane?) one for 5 similar caps where the bidding is at $180 so far. Mind you, no pictures of the backs, and likely more used. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Set-Of-5-Datsun-240z-Hubcaps-Fairlady-260z-Nissan-/371549195268?hash=item56820ecc04:g:NtMAAOSwDuJWtqzG&vxp=mtr Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/53269-more-ebay-price-madness-z-hub-caps-this-time/#findComment-486274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartsscooterservice Posted February 10, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 10, 2016 The first ones look in much better condition if you wanna be picky. but 850 yeah it's madness, but maybe it's worth it I have no idea Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/53269-more-ebay-price-madness-z-hub-caps-this-time/#findComment-486275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuczesk Posted February 10, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 10, 2016 The first set is NOS, right? Probably not too out of line. I wish the Z caps brought crazy money because I have a bunch of used ones to sell.

siteunseen Posted February 10, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 10, 2016 The $850 ones have sold, price not listed but said "best offer accepted". The other set is at $128 now, with 7 bids? That's not too bad. I'd gladly pay $100 for a set as nice, but no E-bay. My bad! Canadian money is more, sorry.

motorman7 Posted February 10, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 10, 2016 Boy, I need some too. Curious to see what final price will be for the set of 5. Will have to monitor.

siteunseen Posted February 10, 2016 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2016 There's a good write up on refurbishing them in the Wick Humble "How to Restore Your Z" book. Paint mixing info and such. I've thought about trying it but haven't yet, I bought some Koning Rewinds for now. I'd like to have a nice set if I ever sale one. If you don't have the book, I could scan the page for you.

hr369 Posted February 10, 2016 Share #8 Posted February 10, 2016 What I find even more entertaining is the shipping method. "economy shipping" Sure! I want my expensive stuff banged up and take forever to receive. Heck yea! Who gives a crap if they get stole off the front porch. Insurance? we don't need no stinkin insurance.

Holy dreaming dreamers Batman! For that I'll take mine out of my motor and ship it to anyone who wants it for free! And throw in some L24 9mm rods!

I have 2 waiting on projects but for that kind of money I could probably be happy with less displacement...

Gav240z Posted February 12, 2016 Share #12 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) The first set were NOS and were worth every penny. That's what they sell for in Japan in that sort of shape. There is a huge difference between what people will pay for NOS vs good condition used. In Japan in particular I've seen insane prices for stuff just because it's NOS and never used. I've seen Kanto Seiki washer bottles sell for $400 USD, along with rear licence plate lamp's also selling for a similar price. There is an Ashtray asking $550 - $750 USD (Buy it now) on eBay. Thing is they are NLA. So whatchagonnado?
