love the trd emblems and i thought they were worth more than $1 anyway..but still, thats kinda tricky

gotta watch out for those "hidden" charges...

lol i know that i make most moeny off shipping when selling an item. thats just how ebay works

i got some xenon bulbs on eBay for .01 but shipping was $8. still an awesome deal for bulbs.

I bought those...I think? I hope!

lol love ur sig zman

Got it from www.esuvee.com [esuvee.com], he's a big guy! What'd ya think o those emblems, I'm
gonna shave all the others off and just have one emblem on the back, maybe one on the sides?

must be some heavy emblems caleb

definitly not going to make the celi go faster if it weighs that much

Theres a trick to the ebay selling process. You list an item at a real low price to avoid a high listing fee and ending value fee. Then you mark up your shipping cost to cover what you expect to get for it. Ebay doesnt charge a fee on the shipping you qoute. It's genius. That way you get the price you want with no questions asked. Pretty sneaky if you don't know how Ebay works.

Yea, that is the Ebay way to sell, cheating bastards. I remember back in the day when Ebay first started people were not pulling crap like this. It was when everyone started to pull crazy shipping charges that I stopped Ebaying.

haha i'll have to remember that when my body kit goes up on there

lol my shipping charges are going to be somewhere in the range of "$1,500" i guess

here's one i seen awhile back. 500 dvd+r for 1 cent + $250 shipping

^ hey that sounds like a bargain... Well $30 is not that bad for all those emblems i thought it was going to be only one

There are a lot of places that do that, not just ebay or online. Most places who do a lot of shipping gets discounts from the shipping companies. What these companies do is usually charge you more then if you were to go to say ups and fedex site and look up the rate, but in reality they are actually getting a discount on the price you would see on the ups or fedex website..

For the first one on the top, I've seen them around in shops where I live (Singapore). Can help you get if interested. Looking at $14 shipped via registered mail to your address in 9-12 days. PM me if interested.

The cost on these is about $2 a piece... at least, thats what I paid per unit when they were available in the store here

haha they get you with the shipping charges..if you don't look at the shipping&handling first.

Welcome to the world of Ebay..

yep that's e-bay for you, it's really funny when they send a package that has the shipping cost on it and it's like 20 bucks less then what you paid for. but ohh well im still an ebay bitch though [/color]

^^ yes, but thats where the $20 in 'handling' comes in

How much did you sell them for? Bet it was'nt $2!

Those are "FAKE" TRD Emblem

That's because they have since jacked up listing prices.


As long as you can read, you won't get jipped.

Yes, they are. But, Remblem sells true TRD for $18. The ones in question came in unmarked packages, TRD lables everything. So I'm sure these are fakes.

that's rediculous... good thing you caught it before buying
