rechrome pricing

I saw an ad locally offering misc new chrome for a 69 Dart..

I phoned, and it was a chrome shop trying to get rid of tailite bezels, ext rear view mirror, and ext door handles,.. that hadn't been picked up..

I asked how much was due.. over $1000..

I mentioned that new,, the re-pop pieces could be had for less than $400,, and that's likely why he still had them,..

I offered to take them off his hands for a coupla hundred bucks... he said he's throw them in the scrap heap before letting them go for $200..never counter - offered..

go figure..

EDIT Having said that, I never saw them, so perhaps the "quality" wasn't worth picking up..??
