How much to pay for housings?

I'm currently in the market for some used housings. Im looking for s5t housings and have seen some crazy prices. Even na housings in this area are bringing in over 300 for the set and they are in ok condition. Thanks.

I;m thinking that one new na housing is upwards of 500-600 bucks so a set of good used for 300 isn't that bad . 150 each is 1/3 to 1/4 of new cost doubt you will find much cheaper unless someone has some that they just want gone .

You'z crazy if you think 300$ for a set of rotor housings in good condition is expensive. I spent 700$ for my girlfriend on a set of S6 rotor housings that were nearly brand new. I thought that was a deal!

Then again, condition and series determines price. S5+ has a better chrome, and in my eyes, justifies a higher price than S4 housings. There is different end housings too. Luckily, I scored the strongest S5 rear housing for my engine build. Don't remember what I got for my girlfriend. It's an S5 housing. No idea which one.

The housings I had were nearly new but it seems the ALS apex seals where hard on them. I have wear on the edges. I picked up awesome s4 t2 plates for 225. Parts in Orlando are hard to come by, good ones at least. I am looking for s5 housings. Thanks
