Thanks...
That's a hell of a good price. I have to tell you, you are one of the best people around at supporting the 850, you always seem to support the car, rather than just make a huge profit off of it. I'm very impressed.
Thanks for the kind words, Jim.
On most of the items I list for sale, I try to offer them at a reasonable price (what I'd consider fair if I were in the buying position). I figure if I can make a
modest profit while passing along a good/usable or even hard-to-find item to a fellow Fiat owner, then it's pretty much a win-win situation. And to be honest, I'd rather
sell an item than have it taking up space in storage, since all profits pretty much go right back into my own cars anyway (for purchasing new/spare parts, monthly shop/storage rent, insurance/registration, etc.).
Yes, I know these Carello headlight cover lenses can often sell for BIG money, even if in poor condition. Around $275-$450+ each for the USA type seems to be the going rate. But sometimes it's less about the money & more about helping to get (or keep) another 850 on the road. I've been in Marks position before (a few times!), & know what a pain it can be trying to source a replacement lens at a somewhat-affordable price. Sometimes I luck into a good deal on parts, so passing along a good deal every now & then just seems like the "right" thing to do. :italia:
