Lets see $30.00 to have it zinc plated, one hour to mask and paint body but
not the screw part of the jack, paint cost for good paint + price of
original jack. Not a bad price if at $60 - 70 for a concours quality jack.
Think that is bad want to see a list of some of the harder to find parts
prices. How about the price for a pair of the correct headlamps as in the
standards. ( Frank, You had better not reveal anything on that one!!!
HEHEHEHE ) I agree though it does seem really stupid as to some of the
prices but, if you are willing to pay the sellers price or what you think it
is worth is it a bad deal ? To some yes , to some no.
