MOST I have EVER seen/heard a set sold for was $700.00 ...... You need to check your Medications!!!...BEFORE posting something Sooooooooooo OUTRAGEOUS!!!...Mark

Have you ever actually owned, bought, or sold a set of these at that price or just read about it? Just wondering based upon your replies and comments to the other members post's above. Last two complete sets I sold for $1750 and that was 2 years ago. The last two broken/incomplete sets I saw sell (because I was outbid) sold for >=$1250.

-My 2 cents. If there is serious interest I can help. $700 is not serious.

Best,

I owned/utilized/SOLD a set 4 years ago for $550.00.

Was happy to sell for $550.00

In my opinion, MUCH better ways to strength rocker arm studs.

I understand about market fluctuations, timing, & an individual's need for certain parts.

I'm a patient buyer whilst others may have less regard for waiting.

As a don't consider an over inflated purchase price as the norm, but rather an anomaly.

That is why I sited 2 purchase price examples, "1" for $450.00, "1" for $550.00.

Yes the examples were 2 years old, BUT a set of valve covers does NOT increase in value approximately 1,400% ( from $550.00 to $7,500.00) in 2 years!!!...Mark

There are lots of people who list items for sale on Ebay for a ridiculously inflated price.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Origin...em567032f4ad&vxp=mtr

There are many reasons including they are sharks attempting to price gouge the gullible or they just have no freakin' clue at all?

You can list the starting or buy it now for whatever you want BUT I think it is a more accurate statement of value to check "completed auctions".

Asking $7,500 has absolutely no basis in any reality that I know of in this Universe or known dimension.

The only criticism I would have is about this discussion and why would anyone even bring this up as even for serious consideration and debate?

Only a chimpanze with a fist full of $100 bills would even be in danger of such a purchase. Why worry about it at all?
