This guy either has a truckload of these 'rare' paint chip sheets, or this ad is getting recycled more times than a Christmas carol.

This person is one of the various people on the site that buys things on eBay and resells them here.
He does buy the same items over and over.
Paint chip sheets are on eBay very frequently, I disagree they are rare.
I cannot speak to the 57-58 sheets exactly but I don't believe those are rare either.

Those paint chip sheets aren't rare.
They are "very rare".

If you have to tell me it's rare, it's probably not.

Looking at the prices of buses lately makes me happy I have wasted so much time finishing mine.
I will either have to keep mine when its done because prices are too high to replace it or I will be getting a good amount. Either way wouldnt be too bad.
I have said it before but it would be cool if there was a way of documenting what buses and parts actually sell for. |

This one was in Costa Mesa a few weeks ago asking 12k, looks like this guy bought it looking for a quick flip:

Hideous color, who knows how much bondo lurking under there and some wiring issues to boot. I thought it was a stretch at 12k.

It was $8500 originally. Probably a double or triple flip.
