Above this bit of text sits a Mopar battery tray. It’s designed to fit a slew of B and E-Body vehicles, and Classic Industries sells it for $24.99. They have plenty in stock.
[sc:ebay itemid=”380459287137″ linktext=”THIS is the same tray for sale on eBay” ]. Now the tray costs $3,999.99, and they’re are just two left. Apparently, per the auction listing, 16 others have already been sold.
I understand that Mopar products can get pricey. I understand that sellers can price items however they want. I don’t understand why the seller of this particular BATTERY TRAY thinks it’s worth more than the entire project car that Hooniverse just acquired. Not only that, the product is available for well under the cost of a tank of gas elsewhere on the Internet.
Now I’m curious if you, dear reader, can find a worse example of insane-o pricing than this? If so, pop it in the comment section below. If the listing disappears, don’t worry I grabbed a screenshot, which you can find after the jump.
*UPDATE: Reader Boomer found out from the seller that this is a way to keep the ad up and running while they restock. Actually a pretty smart move, especially if someone actually buys one at this price. Thanks for doing a little investigation Boomer… (something I probably should’ve done)
