Why would someone pay more than that, especially for a used one... and then drive around with your username on top of their engine?
Apologies in advance if I'm missing something?

It is not simply $1,238 USD, the package is coming from Germany fully declared, you will be charged an additional duty tax for importation via UPS. If you have been following the group buy thread, many Canadians and Americans were both hit with $100+ duty taxes.

This one looks amazing though. I'm sure it will find a nice home.

Did you not even read the ad? 
First off the regular plenum comes with White Lettering. The Metallic CSL Grey lettering was an additional $200 to customize.
The Username is simply a watermark on top of the photo, so no one goes and decides to use my photo for another for sale ad.
Last but not least, it is Brand New. I have not installed it, simply added 3 coats of ceramic protection. I didn't get a chance to install it yet because winter has come around.
The price also includes shipping anywhere to the lower 48 states, in which from Canada is nearly another $150. Either way, you look at it, it is essentially the cost price of getting one with the customizations.
You skip the production wait and still retain the Group Buy pricing. |
Fair enough.
So $1500 + 3.9% = $1,558, ya?
I'm sure someone will jump on it soon!
