Default WTF...... how much !!!

Was browsing ebay and saw these. Stuck them on my watch list as just wanted to see how much they went for.

Bare in mind they are (despite what the seller says) still available new at under £60 each....

And new from RCM..

That's eBay for you. I saw a set of GT2 Prodrive Centre Caps go for nearly £200 recently...

He made a little although just so you all know the full picture (just to avoid any more pre conceived judgements from the all mighty Subaru gurus on here) Brazilians are charged 115% import duty on goods coming into the country. Factor in the postage he paid to get them there and send them back to me, Paypal and Ebay fees and you can imagine he wont be retiring on the proceeds very soon!

Lol! Not on the evidence of some of your recent posts you're not. Anyway I'm off now but if you do want to do the same yourself and you think the badges are still available call RCM in the morning. Ask for Mike (thats me by the way) and I can go through it all again with you.

Night.

You're right there fella, definitely didn't see that coming
I mean an RCM employee selling unavailable stock on ebay.....who'd of thought hey..

Fair play Mike, no hard feelings. I wasn't knocking you but was merely surprised at how much someone would pay for a couple of wing badges. They are still advertised on the RCM website remember so I assumed (like anyone would) that they were still available. Maybe a good time to update your website hey fella

Just thought I'd update this thread so that RA MIKE from RCM is in the picture....

Yes, the 22B badges are in fact still available to order.

If you would like to call Luke from ICP he can go through it all with you.
