Default Aluminum Gauge Rings cheap on Ebay

I bought these same rings from this vender last week and they are very high quality and fit my gauges perfectly. I was a little hesitant due to the low price but they seem to be flawless and match my aluminum interior package very well. Here are more from the same vender:

I bought a set of these rings a few weeks ago. Seem to be a really good product. Color match is not perfect to the aluminum trim on my shifter, but close enough that unless you hold them next to each other you would never know. Fit was great. It is about time that trims rings like these are available at a reasonable price, the normal $100+ is crazy for such a simple product.

What's crazy is the $14 shipping charge for something that should be <$5. Ah, the power of eBay. Profit can be added into the shipping charge.

What's crazy is your continued exaggeration! My God man, he's only charging $13.99 for shipping, not $14 like you claim! No wonder no one trusts any of the information that they get on this site anymore. Stick to the facts instead of some crazy hyperbole!

Next thing I see, you'll be telling some dude that's trying to sell his 2002 996 C4 for $55,999 that his price is too high! I can see it now, "56K for a 2002 is just ridiculous".

When will the madness end??!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!



I hope that everyone realizes that this is all totally tongue-in-cheek.

Right?

I was just kidding right?

No one get their panties in a wad, OK?

You eat your lunch while hanging on Rennlist? That's some impressive multi-tasking

I was actuallly looking at that exact same thing on ebay last night, and was checking the feedback of several buyers who bought that. And I was wondering if any of them were rennlisters! So YES they are!

Dell, ebay is always crazy with their shipping costs. But if you buy from ebay, you only need to know what the TOTAL cost is. That is price plus shipping. That's all the buyer needs to know.

Sellers place $$ in the shipping and lower the selling price to play around with ebay fees.

So...with 2 positive feedbacks from members here, I'm proceeding with my purchase!
Thanks guys!

That makes more sense in how they skirt the fees. Never really got into eBay unless there was something hard to find. The fees are indeed outrageous especially once you factor in Paypal fees (which is owned by eBay as well). Before you know it, you have given almost 10% of the cost of your item right back to eBay.

Uh, yeah, well, um, that aside, I was really referring to the other people on this list who are a bit too uptight. I realize that you have quite a good sense of humor. It's some of the other folks around here that I was worried about.
