expensive_expensive_scorpioman!!

As I have always said about car breakers, eventually they all end up charging the earth for their bits!
Last year (Oct Nov time) I bought a facelift rear lens from madmadscorpioman, who I have always found to be quite reasonably priced, for £9.99 plus postage and in turn I have pointed him in the direction of a car or two on EBay which he has gone after.
I noticed last night that he was breaking an S reg facelift car in silver so asked him about another rear lens......£29.99 plus postage!! he has also just sold a facelift grille for £70.00!!
I personally think he is after buying a new Bentley or something considering how his prices have shot up.

i would seriously double check that price,i really would find it hard to believe that the price you have been quoted is for the centre unit and the lights as well....

Reply to all, 
If you look at the ebay link above that is the only part I am talking about.
Not the Indicator light's
( Just the Centre Rear Light Strip " ONLY " )
Sorry for the confusion
Scorpioman is also selling the indicator separate see link attached

I bought an indicator light from him last year for the same price.
Last night I sent him an email when he told me how much he wanted for a rear light for the drivers side:
"Jack, £30.00 plus postage?? The last one I bought from you was a tenner! Are you buying a villa somewhere?
Baz" "Jack, £30.00 plus postage?? The last one I bought from you was a tenner! Are you buying a villa somewhere?

I got this reply:
"sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack" "sorry baz but selling lots at low prices meant i was working for next to nothing, i have had to price sensibly to be able to keep trading thx jack"
Looks like he has joined the ranks of PVS Cars!! whereby instead of selling lots for little, he sells little for lots!

Dut you know baz,someone will always pay it, look at the prices charged by our German friends
Markets dictate prices, now what we want to do is start buying every facelift we can fine, see 3 between us thats a good start, that way we can bothe give up work and take cars to bits all day
