the corvette tax again
Hi guys, did anyone see the vendor in Ocean City Md. car show that was selling headrest logos? They were very small stick-on logos and the show price was only $350 a pair.
(the regular price is $500). The guy said he had to pay Chevrolet for using the logos but I thought this is the most ridiculous pricing of a corvette part that I have ever heard of. I can't imagine anyone paying such a ridiculous price for this item.

He is right that GM wants there cut, so depending on how many he intends to sell determine the charging price. GM licensing is very expensive per item if you are sell in low quantities.

wow, I saw their tent and thought that was a cool idea but not at 350 bucks.
the Adams tent did not have corvette tax in effect, we gave deep discounts to the corvette brotherhood.

The C6 in front of me, for the boardwalk run, got them put on. They looked ok, but for 350 bones I could have taken my covers off and had them custom embroidered, and still had money left over. That price was RIDICULOUS!

Just to let you know when Americam racing had the corvette logo on the center cap available for their wheels it was an extra $50 per wheel thanks to GM licensing
