How do this seller make money?
« on: July 25, 2023, 07:41:27 PM »
$77.49 with free shipping for the dash cap. Even with commercial account, you will still pay $close to $65 just to ship. After ebay fees you are losing money.
Makes me wonder.

Looks like a scam to me. Either the pic is off or the tube of glue is 2' long or the dash cap is 6" long!!!

They have sold hundreds of these. It can't be scam. What is questionable is the pricing as after shipping and ebay fees and cost of goods, they are going to lose money. Why sell stuff at a loss? Just the box for the said part is $20 to $25 I showed this to a family member who is in the auto parts business, and he said there is no way you can make money from selling that cap for the amount listed.

I would bet the quality isn't what you would like.  I bought a cap for my 01' for a similar cost and although it looked the same it wasn't.  Its far better then the huge cracks, but only time in the sun will tell the truth.
