The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk AD Fender Mouldings

I have seen these once on a truck and started bidding on these but it looks like it will go higher than my current wallet will handle so I thought someone else may have deeper pockets and want to dress their truck up. Will be interesting to see how high this goes.

The same guy also has the long front fender mouldings on auction also.

I think they might go over a thousand.

Do I read the bidding correctly on those trim pieces? Hasn't lyte420 bid against himself running the price from $16.00 to $100.00 without a counter bid or is that just the way it looks?

What's the "R", & "?", in the description mean. Are these Reproductions, or he isn't sure if they are. I've heard that there were some repo.'s out there, & they didn't fit as well,or look as good, as the originals.If repo.'s, the price has gone overboard.

When he put the $100.00 bid in, the current bid was $15.00 (or whatever the bid increment would make it). The Ebay system only bids the minimum you need to win the current bid. Then if somebody else enters a lower bid than yours it raises your bid to that amount.

So if I bid a hundred on an item sitting at $15, it would show my bid as $16. Then you see that and bid $17. It shows MY bid as $17 and you have to decide if you are going to go higher or not. So you raise your bid to $50. It shows MY bid as $50. If you put in $150 it would show your bid as $101 until someone raises you. This allows you to bid the max you would pay and then sit back and see if you win it. Probably saves Ebay a lot of server hardware because there are not so many hits.

When it looks like someone is bidding against themselves, in fact, someone else made a bid but it was lower than the high bid holder's maximum.

The current bid will jump up to the amount of the new bidder's price but the original bidder is still high bidder.

New bid: $1,380

I have always liked these on the AD trucks,but that is awfully expensive

He claims they are original. The spears have some damage and repairs.

Look at this guys feedback. That's too many negatives for me!

IMO the neg feedback he has received is pretty bogus. If you look it is all from new ebayers who probably don't understand how the system works. I would probaby buy from this guy with little concern.

Any guy selling AD parts can't be that terrible.

Houston, I have to disagree. In the first few pages his negative feedbacks are from people with lower transaction numbers, but if you go back a ways there are people giving him negative feedback who have hundreds of transactions. It looks to me like this guy has a track record of procrastinating on shipping, refusing to make things right and insulting people. I may have to read some of the negative feedbackers' feedback profiles to see if he is attracting losers, thus getting negative feedback, but it looks to me like the pros stay away from him, so the novices are the ones he's burning.

I'm glad I didn't pay him $1500 for something that I have to trust him to ship.

Weren't these only for suburbans? With the rear fender being different, would they even fit a pickup?

I've purchased fender stainless trim for my Burbs as had a couple other guys in this thread...that trim can run as much as $1800. for the fenders only(12 pcs). You can still buy "primo" fender spears from GE Creations in CA. for about $500 (set of 2).
The trim was only original on panels and burbs...only fits the front fenders on AD pickups...This original stuff is very "rare" and the price is only going to go up. I've tried to reproduce this trim but the curves and profiles are difficult and costly to replicate without press dies.
The set currently on ebay originally sold for a about $1600.(last week) but the buyer renegged... and its on again. Anything under $1800.is a bargain.

As far as feedback... I bought some lights from this guy just last week, (check his feedback JED 16265) he shipped the item quickly and it was exactly as he promised. (Although, He hasn't left any feedback for me.) I watched his auctions and bid on his stuff several times before I ended up with the lights. I thought some of his practices were a little bit fishy, and his prices were exorbitant. Although I wouldn't bet the ranch on him, I can tell you, based upon my last experience, he was all right. I sure couldn't justify the price on this trim though, (worth it or not)

Hey Steve, Isn't that bidder, who renegged on the fender trim, the same guy that bought your 3 trim pieces.

Tony, the trim was actually only used on panel trucks. I have no idea why they never used it on Suburbans, it would seem to make sense.
