Default sc400 lip, ...gold?

I just watched a used sc400/soarer front lip go for $365 + $40 shipping, on ebay. What the hell? How has this item become so valuable?

Id like to have one, ..but $400?

Yea, the people who bid that high on it are probably uninformed or just plain stupid. You can call Carson Toyota and they have a Brand NEW lip for $380. I got mine used for $200 shipped so yea.. the ebay deals are not always the best.

Maybe its just me, ..but Id put that $400 towards a nice kit. $200 is not so bad, though.

I could see only a moron paying 400 for a used gold painted lip....

Maybe i'll clean mine up and paint it gold and sell on ebay. SUPER RARE OEM GOLD LIP.


EDIT: YOU SHOULDA SAID THAT THEN hahah

LOL. It wasnt painted gold! I was implying that it was worth its weight in gold. Sorry about that, if it was confusing.

I work at toyota and get parts at cost.
A lip priced out to be ~$400 Canadian
While a whole 97+ front end coversion, grill, fogs etc only cost ~$700 canadian.

crazy.
