[DeTomaso] Looking for door latches...

[Julian Kift]

The eBay listing that was referenced is for used at the same price as new from Wilkinson, which would you buy?

Am I missing something?   $345 x 2 = $690, so the same.

Julian, are there used ones for sale somewhere?

Mike,

Good point, I cease to be amazed that some stuff sells on eBay to buyers who obviously do not bother to do any due diligence and end up paying more than new for used parts, or conversely over the odds for new parts and all the eBay seller is doing is drop shipping from a regular internet source.

Wilkinson lists the door mechanisms for $345 per side, assuming he actually has them available Mike Mayberry would appear to be over zealous on his listing for these, but I have found he's usually good on negotiation if you point out the obvious.

Cullen,

Have you checked what Wilkinson's website shows for the retail price? (I haven't).

That's a good barometer for whether an eBay seller is out of line or not. I suspect Mike Mayberry (the eBay seller) knows exactly what his are worth and has priced them accordingly...?
