Curly - You are out of touch with Gen Y drinks

[carl55]

I ask because a friend at work ask if I could get him one.
If you are willing, could you mail one? I do not know if it is legal to ship from there to here.

I'm just a slow, country boy who likes his sarsaparilla.

Carl, I'm not sure if we can ship pressurised cans through the postal service, I'll find out .... I could send an empty one if he only wants the can !

I was looking at ebay/australia. I gotta question for you.
Why do fiat spider parts cost soo much money down there?
I mean used parts. The USD to AUD isn't much of a difference.
I could almost retire if i sold fiat parts to australians for a year or two.

Supply and demand.
Not much demand down here, seeing as the Spiders were never built in rhd or exported to Aus; but what demand there is, always exceeds the supply of parts available. Mechanical components which are shared with Coupes are plentiful and cheap, but any model of Spider body, interior and trim components are very hard to find. Thankfully the US vendors I've used have been terrific in supplying new and used parts.

SO YOU WOULD NOT PAY:
$400 trunk lid
$500 hood
$500 intake
$3000 engine
$130 single door handle
$80 water pump
$156 single engine mount
$101 single side marker
$55 one radiator hose
Not to mention $280 for 2 rotors
And the list goes on.
I was thinking Australians had so much money maybe they thought these prices were a bargain.
Well at least some of you guys know to buy from the American vendors at a reasonable price.
I am very curious about these items, I wonder who is buying these.

In the words of a great Australian comedy

He's dreaming

[adrians]

There all new items on eBay in the past 2 days, and from a user name I haven't seen before..... as ITA124 saids 'what he asking for and what he gets may be to different things .... It's really is case of demand and availablity !

[MNspiderman]

Im glad to hear that its just the case where some guy has his head on Fantasy Island and he thinks his parts are worth more than gold. Dam, I thought i was going to get about $40,000 for my used parts this weekend if i sold them in australia ebay .
