hatch rust repair

Is this anyone on here making these????

[rodomo]

Hi,
I am the seller, please note I don't take orders, I make them when I need money to pay bills. Right now I'm hoping they make the difference between a good christmas and a lousy one. I made the die to press them as I am doing up a Hatch for my son who turns 18 in Feb. That is the car in the pics. They take me about 1 hour to make 1 piece so if you look at the labour involved they are worth what I get. They fit well and if you look at my feedback I have had no complaints.
Regards,
RACV MAN

it was just a thought if you put them up here for a fixed price to save the members bidding againsty each other.

^ i think thats the idea...more money

Hey Torunya,
I am suppling something that can no longer be bought from GM or Rare Spares, trust me if it weren't for nessecity to me, these parts would be absolutely obsolete.
I spent the time to make the dies to press them for my son's car. (approx 8 hrs) My e-bay start price is less than 1/2 of what I make per hr doing my full time job. It takes me 1 hr to make 1 part of these kits in my spare time. What do you charge per hr on your days off? It takes me 1 hr to make 1 part of these kits, I am not Rare Spares pumping out 50 units per batch in an hour, but more-so a battling bloke who is putting together a car for his son and trying to make a buck on the side and helping other Tory owners that CAN NOT buy these parts. The last listings sold for less than $20 a piece, but I don't care I will still list them to help my Bros.

err dude settle
as you said the difference between a good or a scummy xmas.
I'm sure if you advertise them here for what YOU really want for them they will still sell. i desperatley need some and am quite willing to pay what i have too,
also saves you with eBay fee's.
oh BTW...i dont have days off, my wonderful children and husband have me quite busy everyday, how much do you think i should charge per hour for business accounting (BAS, wages, super, tax withholding, Invoices, quotations) child care, taxi service, housemaid, chef, sports advisor, motivational speaker, gardener, courier and part time canteen lady??

Ok ladies and germ I've had a look at my hatch and seems I have the need for these items too
As the seller is not a business as such and makes the items by hand as needed I propose we see what interest there is in these items to help a forum member out. Forum members like us who need the parts and "rodomo" who makes the parts.
I need them...... who else does ?
And what would you consider a fair price for the item
Just to refresh your memory its 4 pieces. From what I can tell its the 2 lower corners and 2 straight sections which looks like enough to do all my rusty bits under the seal.
They take the guy about an hour to make plus the material supplied.

So who's in and whats a fair price ?

I'm in...... and I'd pay $50-60 plus post to save making them or having them made myself.

[dattoman]

Well....... that worked out well for everyone didn't it ?

I take it no-one else needs these parts and/or is willing to pay for them

I still need them though...... rodomo contact me if your interested in my offer

Sorry but didnt understand any of that?

[rodomo]

Sorry, the cut and paste after "Not yet available but taking orders" is directly from their site. They also have a pic that didn't come up either. RP2406 is the part number when available.
