Savvi Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 Just browsing thru ebay as I'm going to be selling off some stuff over the next month or so, came across this ad... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-mk1-2-door-/161168136448?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item25865e9900 Are they really fetching that sort of price ? Just I got a pair as good or maybe slightly better that has the old type card door trim which I believe is from a van or estate ? I thought the prices had dropped slightly ............ maybe im wrong !!!
5tox Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 i certainly wouldnt pay that! i reckon they are worth £200 for the pair, but thats just my opinion 1
PaulMags Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 i certainly wouldnt pay that! i reckon they are worth £200 for the pair, but thats just my opinion There not even worth that.they need skins for a start.Although i did get offered £600 for my pair the begining of the year but there mint and could of sold them for more but they stay under wraps just in case i decide to put them back on.
5tox Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 agreed, they do look a little bit scabby underneath and will need work as soon as people list anything escort related they seem to just lose all sense of reality and see $$$$$ signs
katana Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 You ain't kidding - saw a pair of NOS Mk2 RS2 wings up for £1200! Alright you'll probably never find another pair but come on!
PaulMags Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 You ain't kidding - saw a pair of NOS Mk2 RS2 wings up for £1200! Alright you'll probably never find another pair but come on! I sell these for £300 the pair when i have them in stock.after market but no difference fitting wise.
5tox Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 Paul can you let me know when you next have wings in stock buddy as i could do with a pair
Muppetsmuppet Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 Its just Ebay syndrome . Its just someone hoping someone with more money than sense will buy them . Its the same as with houses , someone with want £200.000 for there gaff , so the next person thinks well if someone pays that there might pay £210,000 etc . Just greed really .
PaulMags Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 Paul can you let me know when you next have wings in stock buddy as i could do with a pair Which ones the mk2 rs ones?
5tox Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 im after a pair for a mk1 escort, not fussed about the style of wheel arch as they will be converted to bubbles .... hmmm i wonder if you can buy all steel bubbled wings?
rallyesport04 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 i brought two gen ford complete door skins an fitted them to good frames for that sort of money i know what i would rather have
PaulMags Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 i brought two gen ford complete door skins an fitted them to good frames for that sort of money i know what i would rather have As said earlier i 've kept mine but fitted fibre glass ones.what a nightmare to fit they were.
robo0121 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 Anything is only worth what someone is prepared to pay that is pure greed....and if some mug pays that for them then that will only encourage another greedy bastard to do the same when they list their stuff....its a shame but unfortunatly there are people out there who are trying there hardest to rip off the classic car community.nuff sed

rallycar74 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 If anyone can Jam escort mk1 In the title the price seems bonkers....I am shocked at what I have seen some people pay for parts tbh the cheese wedge washer bottle Is the crazy one saw one sell for £200 couple of months ago unbelievable Its Just £200 so Its the correct type and looks right you can get a universal Jobbie for pennies compared to that!!
irishtorag Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 What ever about the doors he is looking 500 for two rough chopper bicycles. Man some folk have no shame
5tox Posted December 14, 2013 Report Posted December 14, 2013 I had a cheese wedge washer bottle which i decided not to use, stuck it on fleebay for a tenner hoping somebody could use it and it went for about £80, to say i was shocked was an understatement, i considered throwing it in the bin before listing it
Admin Vista Posted December 14, 2013 Admin Report Posted December 14, 2013 I considered throwing it in the bin before listing it I never throw anything away anymore, most things are useful to someone
rallycar74 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Posted December 14, 2013 I never throw anything away anymore, most things are useful to someone I was amazed I sold the std front struts (they were disk tho) and Servo tbh a few year ago I would have weighed em In..
deadly456 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 If they are good,solid and straight. I would of said around £300,but not that much
Savvi Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Posted December 16, 2013 I have a pair here, need work but solid, will take some pics in the week if anyone interested was thinking more £250 ono. They are early twin cam type, door lock in the handle.
DT36 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Posted December 17, 2013 I sell these for £300 the pair when i have them in stock.after market but no difference fitting wise. Paul, do you have a shop or an online store Butty and what sort of stock do you carry?
