My guess is, your record will stand.:smilewink

[LittleBeast]

Actually they are probably just worth even more to those that have a roof rack now :)

[JoFotoz]

I'll take the under....


...at an over/under of $135.


Money is tight...and the WAY HIGH price for the last set was an abiration..abbaration..abradiation....:confused:

..was CRAZY!

[circmand]

[JHarris1385]

$169

[vt_maverick]

$51.25 as of Saturday morning... still 4 1/2 days left. :eek:

[taylorRichie]

12th is my birthday... only fitting that I get them for as cheap as possible ;)

[Thmstec]

Navistar, do you live in Belleville, IL? My mom, who lives in O'Fallon, just called me last fri telling me that she spotted a VX driving behind her-- and the one distinguishing thing she could is that it was silver (she thought astral, but it was dark) and had a roof rack.

[navistar]

No, I live in Lenexa, Kansas and both my '01 VXs are black, both have roof racks and both have the modified covers.

[nfpgasmask]

There is no way to guess what these will go for. Personally, I will say over $200, considering the rarity. It all happens in the last 10 seconds on eBay!

Who knows, I might just bid and hold onto them for my next VX! :eek: :rolleyes: :cool:

[alanbradley]

None of my friends understand why I'm so protective of mine whenever I fit my rails and why I'm really careful removing and fitting them...

They're silly money!

Or sit on them for a couple years and sell them for $500 later...

+1!

I'll take over $250. There is no substitute.

[JAFO]

Sounds like this could be a good product for hobbyists that do vacuum molding.

[BlackVXer99]

these are ten miles from me. :o thats probly as close as ill ever get to them lol

[navistar]

I just noticed that the person selling the roof rail covers (tambourineman7676), located in Belleville, Illinois, is also selling a Vehicross OEM front ashtray and rear ashtray. On the front ashtray item page he says to Keep an eye on my other auctions for more VehiCross parts!

So we'll see.:)

[vt_maverick]

At the risk of inflaming the eBay auction... Isuzu Parts has the four covers listed at an MSRP of $57.29 EACH, for a total cost of $229.16, so they're worth AT LEAST that much. Factor in the hard-to-findness, and it could go very high...

[JoFotoz]

Yup...I've been thinking the very same!


Sounds like this could be a good product for hobbyists that do vacuum molding.

We'll see what these go for...then maybe I'll volunteer to do some DD..

...and see what we can get them made for.

(Mold and manu 20 sets...$2500...cost per set...$125 .. maybe?? ...who knows!)

Here's what I get when I pull up those parts on my Isuzu Parts CD,
but those prices are probably not very current. The CD is from 8/04.

How do I get a copy of that CD????....that would be SO useful !!


jo

[deermagnet]

How do I get a copy of that CD?

Thread hijack mode initiated.

I bought that CD on eBay earlier this year for $10. It's kinda like myisuzuparts.com, but with more info just like the dealers have. I still haven't figured out everything it's capable of. It's kinda complex for a dope like me. It took me like 45 minutes just to create that list!

I mostly got it 'cuz Isuzu said they were gonna pull the plug on myisuzuparts.com in early '08. They obviously kept the site up for now, I think due to outraged Isuzu owners at the Planet and elsewhere. At least I have that CD if that site ever goes down for good. The CD covers all Isuzu passenger vehicles from '81-03. The website covers '86-07.

[JoFotoz]

Mark...any chance of copies?

I bet many would like one.

Oh, man! Now you're asking a caveman to do brain surgery. I'll look into it. :o

[lasturbo]

I found out the current pricing on the West Coast - Retail each for $58.15 + uncle sam's share.

[JoFotoz]

I'll take the under....
...at an over/under of $135.

So...$104:00 takes them...I wish I'd bid $105 now!!

I think thats a real good buy at that price...

...anyone here the 'winner' ???..good job!


jo

[lasturbo]

I was the lucky winner jo!! Winner, Winner chicken dinner! I actually ordered them from Isuzu with an ETA of December because mine are missing and I want to take the rack off when I am not using it. $104 was a good price. I hope the condition of them is true to the ad. If these are good, I can cancel my order and save over 100 bucks!:bgwb:

[Ldub]

Winner, Winner chicken dinner!

Mmmmmm...chicken...:homer:

Congrats!:thumbup:

[CrnCnn]

I LOVE reading these threads. I still am appreciative of Bimati for letting his go to me for 20 big ones. I then gave an extra one to Mr. gasmask himself.

[JoFotoz]

Good score Dude...Like a 1/4 of the last price they fetched on e-bay!!!

[VCAMILO]

Wow! US $104.50 for these? I have been driving around for 2 yrs w/out them. They are sitting in my cabinet in the garage. Do they make the VX go any faster with them on?

argh, you suck :)
you beat me by $2.50, that's what I get for not living by the computer until the auction ends
anyway, I'm glad someone in the club won them, keep them in the family you know
congratulations!

[VehiGAZ]

I'll take over $250. There is no substitute.


Who do I owe? :(

[lasturbo]

Joe Isuzu, so it was you...lol. I was wondering if it was a fellow VX member/supporter. I was lucky cuz in ended close to midnight on the West Coast and as for you, it was like 3:00am. I would be sleeping too!! I told myself the limit was $110.00 and I think you had it at $66-$102.50. Well, like I said earlier, we shall see how "new" they are and hope the seller is true to his word. Thanks for the shout!!:bwgy:

jo (JoFotoz), I think I will hold on to them but still come over, have a beer and grab my calender when it is ready!!!:_drool:

[Joe Isuzu]

Yup, it was me, oh well, they will show up again at some point and I'm not worried about it, to be honest with you, I'd prefer you have them as you truly NEED them, I have some already and was looking for spares as I don't drive with the roof rack on all the time and I'm paranoid of braking one every time I remove them
I definitely hope you have no issues with them when you receive them (no broken tabs or whatnot)

[Tambourine Man]

Well, like I said earlier, we shall see how "new" they are and hope the seller is true to his word.

You won't be disappointed. :) Check your email more often! I'll send you the tracking # this afternoon/evening. On my way to UPS shortly.

[lasturbo]

Thanks!!! I did receive your email, replied, and glad to see a fellow VX'r on the site. I do feel better considering you had no feedback yet but we all have to start somewhere! It is too bad their are a lot of "kink" deal ebayers out there so it makes us all paranoid. I am looking forward to removing the racks and installing the covers! Thanks again Tambourine Man! You will have the first positive feedback from me!!:bwgy:

[lasturbo]

There is another set on ebay for a "starting bid" of $199 and they look hammered. I will count my blessing on mine for $104.50 and they look in a lot better condition from Tambourine Man. I will be getting them tomorrow per UPS.

You mean you don't trust the ad? ;)

"You are bidding on a set of all four, used but in like new condition, Isuzu Vehicross Roof Rack Rail Covers. These covers are made of plastic and in excellent condition. Isuzu OEM original equipment and quality. No longer available from the manufacturer."

[lasturbo]

And 0 Bids..............;wtf;
I think another member/supporter mentioned he/she may be coming out of the chute too high on some of the items but to each his/her own. I think the door panels are a good starting bid???

[vt_maverick]

Yeah well you know 99% of the bidding takes place in the last 5 minutes, so it'll be hard to judge until later today. I do think the headlight is a good deal though, assuming it actually works...

Mine just came in today from Tambourine Man and they are like brand new and packaged very nicely if I may add. Thanks again!!!:bgwp:

Phew, I'm glad they arrived in good order. Now I don't feel so guilty about turning around and buying a game-used base from 2006 (girlfriend's pissed but Pujols homered in the game, so I feel I have a right to buy it)! Thanks for the feedback!:grinb:
