Ganadors..

So I just sold an extra set of Ganadors for $1900 yesterday but I've seen comments about people selling theirs for over $3k.. I'm happy with the price I sold mine at but I'm curious If I under sold them or not lol
so im curious to hear opinions on what they are valued at right now.

I never cared for these, or understood the hype for them. Recent years have been bananas. Maybe it's a rarity thing. I'll never get it, I'm afraid.
Undersold is a relative term. If you bought them for 500, that's great. If you paid 1200 you still made money.

I've always thought they gave the car a better look.. just never understood why they became so expensive..I bought my CF ganadors for $800 and thought that was a lot. I just wasn't aware of people selling theirs for over $3k, makes me wonder if I should have listed them for $2500 lol

I paid 1500 for a pair a year ago, when they were regularly popping up for well above that mark.
I much prefer them over the stock mirrors which just feel like an afterthought in the design process.

Additionally, if anyone happens to have a spare pair of the wiring, Id be more than happy to buy them, as mine didn't come with any, and I don't particularly fancy trying to adapt the stock wiring to suit the Ganador plug.

$1500 was about right. If you wanted to wait and wait, you might have got closer to $2000.

The high prices you saw were probably in kangaroo bucks. I have a theory this is actually contributing to parts price inflation. Americans see CAD and AUD and we're so self centered we assume it's USD.

The stock mirrors are very much not an afterthought. There's a write up somewhere around here, but a lot of work went into testing the rear view mirror housings' shape and how they interacted with the wind coming off the popped-up headlights.
