I just don't understand..

$57.00 for a set of used reverse lenses!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290388767462

Why would you buy these when I sell them new (and improved) for $50.00?   :BangHead:

Our gaskets are also much better at keeping water out of the housing than the originals were.

I suppose I just have to chalk this up to them not hearing about our lenses yet... oh well!

I have another 50 sets of each coming in soon and will be advertising them hard to get them sold quickly as this last batch should finally pay off the tooling investment.

You need to list your lenses on EBAY, let people know.

Tom,

I was waiting for the new shipment to come in as I'm down to about 3 sets of parking lenses and about 4 sets of reverse lenses however it seems like folks might have money to spend on them right now.

I think I'm going to take your advice and list one or two sets of each just to spread the word around till the new shipment comes in.

Thanks,

Chris

I helped spread the word today for you for lenses and the GS registry. A Buick guy about an hour north was selling some items that I met a month or so ago. He passed my name on to a guy semi locally about an 1hr southeast of me that has a 65 GS 4 speed that he's putting back together. I told him about your stuff. I just have to email him your info tonight. I'm sure he will be contacting you. He's from Kankakee, IL. He bought his GS taken apart and in boxes. I'm finding more guys around me with some old Buick's.

To some guys "original" means everything.
Period correct and improved means everything to me though!   Not to mention saving a buck.

Geez, $57.00 for a used set?  :overthetop:
I like the repros, maybe I should start selling some of the old ones I got.
I've got at least 2 sets of NOS that are cracked in the normal place . Wonder what those are worth? :dontknow:
