even a Holden Man like myself knows what missing here,,uhmmmm bonnet pins anyone? :P

Well he either reads this forum or someone let him know as hes changed the description. Hasnt changed the price though.

I dont tell people what they want to know, I tell them what they need to know!

Have a good read of this ad, its amusing. Its apparently a factory option aircon setup, which it aint, but then he goes on to say it looks better than a factory fitted one...which it aint, and how the hell one of these things sticking out the bottom of your dash can look better than one that is completely hidden is beyond me!!

Huh????

Hey craig, sold one of them air con set ups a while ago to a bloke from tassie. think I got around 400 for it from memory. I sold it coz i scored a factory (u cant see me) air con setup at a bargain price. I agree, under dash as opposed to integrated, I will take integrated, but at lease the under dash wasnt on compliance plates so if ya want air con but ya plates dont show it, least ya can cheat and use the underdash units.

Ive seen GS bonnets at swap meets in reasonable condition for $200 and less, GT ones I have seen for $300.

There are a lot of these bonnets around and they are only priced as they are because people are hoarding parts, not because they are rare. I know a bloke who has 8 GT bonnets!!!!

If you are chasing one just dont rush into buying an expensive one, get off your arse and do some scrounging and youll find one cheap.

I came up with $610 being quite the rogue on my prices. Soooo, just possibly 1500 is a little over the top.

Ok, what am i gunna ask for my new old stock xb gt bonnet still in factory primer ?. I ask so I avoid ending up here. :)

Yep, thatll work, the market will tell you exactly what its worth, the only time it doesnt is when sellers start bidding on thier own stuff and creating an artificial benchmark for prices.

Put it up for 99 cents, that way it will attract heaps of bidders and all it takes is two of them to get excited.

If you have an absolute bottom dollar price in mind then put that as its reserve and you are guaranteed to get what you want.

Personally, Im no big fan of NOS panels, I think they are overpriced and not worth it. For example, if a NOS GT bonnet is worth $2000 and you can get a half reasonable one for say $400 surely you can have less than $1600 spent on it to get it to as new condition? Same with doors, see em all the time on Ebay, NOS XB sedan door skin, $600, WHATTHA!!!! why not just buy a $50 one from a wreckers and spend a couple or three hundred and have it fixed up nice, end result is it cost you less than a NOS one and looks just as good.

The only thing that is good to have NOS are mechanical parts that wear out, like steering boxes, switches, pumps etc, because reconditioning these parts, though cheaper, can quite often give you a less than perfect part.
