Is this the same seller who is selling them in the classifieds on this forum? I recall seeing one for sale in the "Parts for Sale" section on here for a ridiculous price. Thread may have gotten locked due to other forum member making fun of them.
That`s it. I mean, I love our 71 coupe... but I`m tearing it down and selling it piece by piece.
For those kind of prices, I should make a couple million bucks!
The seller obviously knows and believes what P.T.Barnum said. "there is a sucker born every minute"
Maybe the suckers are the people who laughed at him when they were $25 cheaper and he sold them all.

More likely the members making fun of a forum seller in his sales thread were sent on vacation.
What's the problem? Don't like his asking price? Then don't buy it. It may be worth it to someone looking for that part, if correct, for their restoration. Good for him if he gets that kind of money. As always, this part, or anything else in life for that matter, is what a buyer is willing to pay for it and the seller is willing to sell it for. Take this for what it is worth, I bought a rusty, dirty, non functioning 69 wiper motor for $195 because I needed a washer hose Y fitting from it that is not available and is not reproduced. Yes, it was worth it to me.
It is a crazy price. Considering the fact that these were used on many GM cars you should still be able to find them in junk yards.
If someone deliberately asks crook prices for something, they should expect criticism. Criticism is societies way of keeping people in line and on the right track, we need more of it!
Reminds me of something I ran up against, about 20 years ago. At the time, I had a 1977 Pontiac T/A, and apparently GM had either a bad batch of RH rear quarter panels, or a bad day on the assembly line, resulting in quite a few cars getting out with the quarter panels not aligned properly. This resulted in water getting into the "dogleg" area where the rear window joined the quarter. The result was premature rust in this area.
This happened to my T/A, but not until the car was long out of warranty, since I didn't drive the car in the winter. I wanted to replace the quarter, so I went to the Pontiac dealer where a friend was the parts manager. He looked up the panel and it came back as "discontinued". He did, however, give me the phone numbers for the various GM "parts depots" across the country, think that even though the national computer system showed "zero stock", there still might be a few that slipped through an inventory, and be available.
Long story short, I called all of the warehouses, and while there were indeed a few around, I was always a week to 10 days too late, they had been sold. Turns out, some recently retired GM employee had decided to open up a parts/restoration business, and he used his connections to locate and purchase ALL the original Camaro/Firebird body parts that were in the system. I stumbled on to an add that he had placed in Hemmings, advertising the quarters for sale. The GM price was $360 each. He wanted $1000...……….
