Jono.C Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 WGMG - Sitting in the computer lab of VU Sunshine campus, click 'print' on a document I need. 30 minutes later with no sign of my document I get a phone call from VU. My document is sitting in the print tray, at the Footscray Nicholson campus.....WTF? :blinks: We did/ still do that for fun hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Right, I've said this here before and so have other people but this ʞ©$ɟing 5 grand KE70 shit is driving me up the wall. Don't want to clutter people's for sale threads up but I really, really want to haha Yeah but everything is overpriced when it comes to e7/86's and now the car prices are reflecting that. I'm glad mine is almost finished, kinda, all the big bits anyway. Glad most of what I want now is off the shelf stuff which is still reasonably priced, for now.

LittleRedSpirit Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Its simple economics of supply and demand. Look at pedalboxes. Its not Takumi putting the prices up, its all you guys that are paying soo much just to get one, when there are other options. Quite frankly if I wanted to sell my spare one, Id be an idiot to sell it for $150 these days, when everyone else is getting $250 for one. And nobody who reads this can tell me that they wouldn't do the same thing, its just how the world works. If I sold it for $150, then gauranteed the next time its sold it goes for $300.

BUZ440 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I know if I put a price on mine people would tell me that, to my reply I know every nut and bolt, and dollar spent on the car, and if people would say it to my face and tell me what its worth I would consider, be interesting that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Its simple economics of supply and demand. :y: And even though we may not agree, people ARE paying those prices for KE70's. Too many people with disposable income who can't be bothered bargain hunting and just want the 'in thing' now. I spent almost 2 months looking for mine. I wish I had disposable income :( EDIT: And I already have one so I don't mind if they drive up the price on them :P Edited June 7, 2012 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Carlos, you're talking about your '30? Matt and Reed, it's not like supply and demand for those parts, and KE70's in general wasnt there in the past though..This just seems to have come out of nowhere recently. I don't understand it.

Willis Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 But then shouldn't the prices have reflected then, there and while it was growing? So far as I can tell, in the last month or two it's gone from 2 grand to 5. Just seems ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeAE71 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 The best response you can give to ads for $5000 KE70's is silence. After all, that's all they will be experiencing at the end of their mobile phone or pm inbox. I bought a completely fresh KE70 stock for $2,000.I probably paid too much by some people's standards but it's one of the best I've seen and hasn't met with any 17 year old drift kings yet, If I threw $3,000 at it it would be 4AGE powered and shit all over that $5,000 AE71 that is currently on offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUZ440 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Carlos, you're talking about your 30? Got offered 3500 for the whole car and told that's what its worth cause its done dodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 This is why instead of selling I'm looking at swapping, but even then I can't be bothered with the people you have to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
