Found a rare deal...sharing it now

found this deal on my local CL....just letting you guys know since the rare badge is so hard to come by nowadays...seller seems to know the demand hence the high firm price.

Man I would love one since I plan to go all Aspec for my car but why purchase one now when I dont have the complete A-spec package.

I need a job fast!! I need A-spec wheels, suspension, steering wheel(wont ever find), and this badge.

Before I had a start bid of 125 and within the last hour it sky rocketed up to like 225ish but the bidder didn't pay so I re-listed it again at a higher price and some one just bought it under 20 mins of me listing it.

I was surprised as well. Guess people really wanted it that bad.

Pretty insane price. Imagine 15 years from now the price of Aspec anything. Also I'm sure the first round of TL aftermarket items will be rare.

Nice job selling it for $250. Even though I converted my car to an aspec model, I would be carry worried about someone ripping off the badge from my trunk and damaging my paint.

mine was stolen from me... while at that, they also damaged the paint... I was so mad for a stupid badge. But now i see how demanding it is so no wonder. If i had it i wouldnt put it again.

my reason for selling it instead of keeping it. I already had my type-s badge stolen this year so I figured I might as well make money off it than let someone else take it.

I'm still confused on how these are even worth $20.

I had a few of them, two broke, and I can't find the other one in my garage. Tim gave me a few for like $10 with my body kit in like '08.

I don't see these can go for $200+... even $100+. No one doesn't think that this is ridiculous?

Supply and demand. I sold one in the BM for 60$. A few months later, one sold on ebay for 125$ I think (it was discussed here on AZ with a link to the auction, but can't find it now). And now one sells for $250?!?! F'n $250?!?! FAAAACK!!!! That's INSANE!! I should have held on to mine. These badges are worth almost as much as shares in Apple stock HAHA!!!

I just sold a few things on ebay and they dont charge you on listing an item anymore (with just the basics). They take commission when it sells.

Agreed-can't you see buying this thing for $250, only to have it stolen off your car the next week....

I really don't understand why someone would pay so much for a badge. But I understand the price only because there are so many people who want them....

i wouldn't expect everyone to get the same price as i did for an a spec badge, especially if its been used. i was the only one selling it on eBay at the time(unless some searches didn't pop up for some reason.)

plus if everyone here starts to try and sell it on eBay, that's going to dictate the prices to be cheaper which i would rather sell it here in the BM to avoid ebay fees and deal only with paypal fees. also you would be providing the badge to someone who might deserve it more since members on azine are more likely to show more compassion for their cars.
