I was looking on eBay for one, and this is the only one I came across.

Screw that guy... I just found one locally for $24.95. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow.

Is that just the faceplate? I got the whole unit with some extra cop gauges that 1990ltd now has, for $50 from the local U-Pull.

[BGoins12]

I called them, it's the complete cluster.

[91grandmarquis]

I usually only see them on ebay for $100-120 at the most for the older style.

Yeah that guy had that item up for a long time. I commend him for keeping the price firm. If your sale falls through I have a perfectly working one with a theft deterrent light installed for 70 shipped. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

It's NOS.

It's NOS.

Then that price kinda makes sense... Still seams a bit much, but ford wants $220 for a lock actuator so whatever.

It's NOS.

EXACTLY. I see this on all car web forums. People complaining left and right about prices. You do not have to worry. The market will determine the prices no need to get all angry that a piece you may want is out of your reach. Eventually if an item is out of your price range it may come down (if it is really common and the seller knows it). This seller knows that NOS sells (in MOST cases) for a lot of money. I myself complain about prices time and time again but them remember that it is a NOS piece or made of unobtanium that it should be unaffordium because IT IS RARE. I also find that people complaining about prices (myself included) complain because it may be something that they want. What it comes down to is this: Some people find good deals on things because they were priced by someone not in the know or the care, and some people pay the big bucks because rare and unique items calls for more cash and SERIOUS buyers know this and wont complain.
