Third brake light
« on: March 31, 2013, 08:10:26 PM »
If you are looking for a third brake light for the ST, but wait there's more, look how many have been sold.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in the wrong job.

Where is Brock right now, I wonder what his Ebay name might be???

Cheers

They're kidding, right?
AU $9,969.99!!!     :eek

You can buy a "good" 2nd hand Mazda for that.    :rofl

I just wrote to him and told him we could buy the whole car for that price.
Going by the way they write up their conditions, I'd say they've made a blue and not realised it

Just got a reply back from the 3rd brake light mob on ebay. Here's the reply in their words:

Because the item now don’t have enough in stock, so we modify the price avoid buyer to order it. If the item make up, we will modify it to the correct price on eBay listing soon.
Best regard

I guess that's one way to deter customers  :well

They appear to be one of the new breed of sellers who want to give the impression the product is already in Oz.
The other recent technique is offering free postage out of Honkers.  I've no idea how they can do that on items costing a couple of dollars or less, but have taken advantage of it.
I guess the Chinese postal system lets them have it for local rates, and lets AusPost do the heavy lifting under the international agreement.  Dunno how that gets it on the plane, though.

Very cheap labour no doubt!  :grin

I had some products made over there and sent here through their mailing system which must be state subsidised, 'cause there wasn't much postage on it
