from where? I've seen them listed at that price individually too but those are sold out and I think just a random number is then associated with them.. I'd love to see where you'd purchased them for 15$ , unless it was a salvage yard or something that didn't know the value of the items..
ecs has these listed for 300$+ due to the lack of availability fir these support bars.vars.. honestly , the past 3x years I see them sell all day fir 100-200$..
a discontinued/rarer item is worth what ever someones is eilling to pay , just because it once may have been a price , doesn't mean it is anymore 16x years later....

It was just from some person on FB here in Atlanta. Been. Few years now but I wasn't meaning to come off as disrespect of your post or anything, I genuinely didn't know nor have I ever really looked them up in a new market. I herd a person mentioned they help with engine bay stiffening and did a quick search on FB and saw set on someone's wrecked R52 and asked. They said $15 and I said okay. But yeah, now looking at ECS and everything, they cost ALOT for what they are.
