Default Just a bit overpriced?

I'd like a new shifter handle, but not for that price.

anyone who buys from them is an idiot. bumps stops for $125 or more from them, and I got mine for $35 shipped from Strano.

pricing parts like this, makes the rest of the village idiots ask $10,000+ for a '98 Ls1 vehicle with 100,000+ miles. these parts and our cars are way over-priced.

Slash...a complete set of leather seats in good condition (w/o Chulo...lol) go for around $400-$500 on a good day. people asking more than that are stupid. even worse are the people paying those prices.

A cloth seat (non-power) is not a lone $150-$200 item either. you can pick up an entire set of cloth interior seats for around that if not cheaper in good condition.

I think people posting in here, understand what exactly my point is I'm trying to convey here...
