Can anyone make sense of this??

These are two different eBay listings for the same repop fender emblems.

$208.99 (almost 700 sold) WTF!!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOPAR-Pentastar-Emblem-Chrysler-1962-1975-Gold-Fender-Badge-Dodge-Penta-Star-/191832344075

$7.61 (almost 650 sold)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-Pentastar-Emblem-Dodge-Chrysler-Gold-Fender-Badge-Penta-Star-62-74-New-/221970759085?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c1#viTabs_0

Both listings are repops. Is it simply people not doing their research??

:cheers:

I think some of these guys ,when then run out of stock ,just jack up the price to where no one will buy to avoid stopping the listing  etc.
68 Charger R/t white with black v/t and red tailstripe. 440 4 speed ,black interior
68 383 auto with a/c and power windows. Now 440 4 speed jj1 gold black interior .
My Charger is a hybrid car, it burns gas and rubber............

So, what's real ones worth, plastic or the older metal ones?     :shruggy:
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

It can be clearly seen, they are different!   :shruggy:

 :iagree:
No kidding! Now I have to go check the ones I just bought from Megaparts and see which style it is. Both claiming Mopar reproduction...interesting  :shruggy:

Ghoste

Makes you wonder what the vetting process is for someone wanting to reproduce authentic Mopar restoration parts, just pay the fee and you're good or...?

Well that stinks! The one I purchased from Megaparts looks as though it's 'incorrect' as well...having the 'fat' star! I checked two of the original cars in my stable (1969 Super Bee & 1971 Challenger R/T) and they both have the 'thin' star as pictured in the $7.61 ad. Guess I'll order one of those up for the 'bird!  :yesnod:

Well the first one went on sale...   $200 off!!    Now it's  Price: US $8.99

I think it was just somebodies typo. 


Anyway...  2nd listing is cheaper and free shipping FTW.   :2thumbs:
Black Betty:  1969 Charger R/T - X9 440 six pack, TKO600 5 speed, 3.73 Dana 60.
Sinnamon:  1969 Charger R/T - T5 440, 727, 3.23 8 3/4 high school sweetheart.

dual fours

If in the manufacturing process the complete recess of the star in picture #1 was painted black, the star would look fatter. If just the shallow bottom of the  recess was painted black, more gold color down in the recess of picture #2  the star would look thinner. I'd like to see both in my hand with my own eyes. The fat star may be a painting mistake. I need to clean the car wax out of my star, but it looks like a thin black painted star. 1970 Charger, built late 1969.
   
1970 Dodge Charger SE, 383 Magnum, dual fours, Winter's shifter and racing transmission.
