The price posted is what I paid and I fully expected to receive lower offers (OBO). This is after checking multiple sources for current value and recent sales.
My post reveals zero about my character, thank you. I am, in fact, a joy to be around. You can ask both people who well know me.

Desperation is $400? lol. No, $400 is one enthusiast passing along to another enthusiast a fair, reasonable, and thoughtful deal. That's not desperation, that's generosity.

You paid $800? I'm sorry, that doesn't align with my sensibilities.

Good day.

Starter what this post reveals is that you are definitely a ‘character’. As Billy Joel sang ‘Don’t go changing….. we love you just the way you are!’

PS. My humps came with the car, I use them maybe twice a year at show and shines and the occasional cars&coffee event. Everyone loves them and I think I could get better than $500 should I sell, but then again, that’s in Canadian dollars, so about $32.50 USD.

I’ll give you $40 USD, but you need to ship them for free.

LOL! So true!

$500 doesn't seem unreasonable... if they come with the bags.

Aside from a few parts/pieces I've given a few members (postage) likely I'll hold on to the humps, extra lights, and other parts until/IF I sell the car. When I die I'm certain my wife won't be asking market prices for the stuff. She's not as savvy as I. /S

Have a great week my Northern Pal.
