Default 95 dollars for 30 cent parts

I have seen it all today. I love free markets and everyone is free to buy and sell as they see fit, but this was just too egregious.

Often I see used parts posted on EBay that are still available brand new from JCP for a fraction of the cost. Shame on the seller for gouging and shame on the buyer for not doing research. Whatever, I do not really care.

Today I came across this, however



I am needing a pair and they are NLA. JaguarClassicParts sells almost identical XJS turnbuckles for 30 CENTS. If they still made these, they would not be charging more than a dollar or two for each. If that.

Sorry for the rant, but this one blew my mind.

Maybe somebody could fab these using 3D printing. I am in need of just one myself for the batt cover. I think the side panels that close out the left and right trunk area in front of the light assy use the same knobs.
