Ollieh17 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Because people pay stupid money for 'rare' stuff to get attention. So why not label it up as rare to make more money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Nothing is fucking rare you just have to look harder for what you want, these are 1990 era toyota parts not antique paintings lol. There will be loads more of something considered rare somewhere stashed in Japan it's just the fact that they aren't here! This happens with genuine wheels as well, people all think that they are way over priced and hard to get hold of but in fact if you look, you will actually find that they are a lot cheaper and available than you think Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rock-Kick-Ass Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Livesports rep spoiler (rare) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Rare- (of an event, situation, or condition) not occurring very often.So by definition, if an item doesn't come up for sale very often it makes it rare. Techincally even if loads are stacked somewhere. The are obviously varying levels of rare... Like 1990 era toyota parts and antique parts.The items maybe rare, but wouldnt catch me paying the stupid prices Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The optional extra scene sort of annoys me a bit because of this. It encourages people to ask stupid prices for uncommon/sought after parts. I paid £60 for my EP80 (the whole car running and roadworthy), yet that idiot wants £250 for a key?!?! I love the chase of looking for a part that you really want. Took me ages to find a glow panel, then it took a while to find a mk1/2 bootlid to fit it. But when I see people selling a battered glow panel for like £200 on the facebook group lol. To be fair, parts will go for stupid prices so long as there are stupid people paying these prices.

Nanglebadger Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 This complaint is nothing new. Harry and Rick (for those who remember the TC Tuning days) griped about this exact problem 7/8 years ago, and its only got worse since then. I paid £50 for my passenger side footwell storage bin; last one I saw for sale was £200. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
