Isn't this just a contemporary accessory part?

Bakelite? I didn't know bakelite was any other color than the normal brownish color I've always seen? Either way, that's a chunk of change for a knob.

Sweet, I never knew you could get it in a bunch of different colors. I still can't see spending over $200 on a knob though, but that's just me lol.

It is different from those new ones if you look at both but I'm not sure how to tell if the $250 one is real

Does it have a VW part # and logos on the underside like original knobs?

If it truly is a VW part it will have part number and logo. From the pic of the underside, I see no such evidence.
I'm calling it REPRO.

I don't believe VW ever made these accessory shift knobs. The VW box is there for effect in the $25 ad. Note that the shift markings are deeply embossed into the plastic; period original accessory knobs are not, and the markings wear off fairly easily.

I believe Rich's is an actual period accessory knob, designed to fit the pre-1962 shift lever, as the markings are nearly flush with the surface ($250 is way too much IMHO, though).

Weird... some of his other parts seemed to be priced fairly.

I think sometimes people don't want to sell a particular thing so they price it out of this world just in case someone is crazy enough to pay it.

Everett - it looks like your theory may be correct, given the ad's "pending" status. If this is how parts are going to go, then this is both frustrating and sad.

I see it says "Pending Bob" and the seller is in Belgium.
I immediately wonder if Bob from BBT bought it.
If so, he could have possibly traded for it as he has lots of stuff, in which case he may have paid far less in trade value.

This Zwitter ad was posted on the site earlier today
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1832680
1953 Zwitter ragtop Beetle Price: $20,000

This was a scam ad.

This car is on eBay right now for much more money.

Funny how owners of KCW built cars don't keep them very long. Even funnier that KCW is not mentioned at all in the ad. I could be wrong but I think this is the second time this one is up for sale (different tires and wheels this go round).

No year listed, an 8 word description, and only two photos, showing just the open sunroof and a semaphore. For €55,000 -- over $61K -- I'd expect just a bit more information.

And on these poor two pics the "Professionaly restored." split has trim around the rear side window.
But no vent windows, so ist not a zwitter.

On this one I am sure the turn handle at the front hood was added in the restoration.
Looking at the VIN the handle was changed around 6000 cars before.
Just as the banana bumpers.
