Angry $325 for front bumper!!!!!!!!

this is pathetic. these damn people on ebay think they can charge $325 for a used front bumper!!!!!!!

here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2418957247

it pisses me off soooo bad when people do this. you can buy a BRAND NEW bumper for $200, but they fell they can charge $325 for a used one. yeah it includes fog lights and turn signals and FTP lenses, but those can be picked up for cheap.

I'm also mad because I need one of these, and I thought I could save a little money by going used, but apparently that will be more expensive.

I see lots of rip offs on ebay, but this just really pisses me off.
these bummpers used to go for pretty cheap, but every day they seem to go up in price.

I have seen brand new bumper covers (S4) on Ebay go for ~$50ish. So keep browsing and you may score.

yeah, I know. notice I said above "you can buy a Brand NEw bumper for $200" (oh, and I meant to write, "but they 'FEEL' (not 'fell')

yeah, but I'm looking for a S5 bumper.

its funny, I went to the junkyard a few weeks ago and picked up all the S5 side moulding, the rear bumper, and 2 decent condition vert wheels all for $100.
the car also had a front bumper, but it had a small rip/dent thing in it, so I decided not to bother to get it lifted up off the ground(no front wheels or jack stands) because I figured I could find a good condition one on ebay or something for cheap.

I should go back and get that one anyway. it will be a hell of a lot cheaper than crappy EBAY. and quite a bit cheaper than new. or I'll just go search the junkyards some more.

I can give you front and back bumper with foglights and turnsignals, and all body molding, for $200 and shipping. Parts are white...front was lightly sideswiped, but should go right back into shape when installed on a car with straight fenders (the fender took a big hit, and pulled one side of the nose about 1" upwards, but we all know the plastic parts bend back into shape). Let me know if you're interested.

Front bumper for a '86 (which is what I have) is $90, and the reinforcement is $77. I didn't know it would be different for S5s so I didn't think to check that price. They just may have something you'll need one day.
