Re: Cheap buddy buckets -- HURRY !

People pay $1,000 for tore up buddy buckets because they don't know any better. Doesn't mean they are worth it. I just sold a set for that much that were really nice, just had covers and foam worn out on outer edge of driver side. I supplied the buns for that and all they needed were covers of choice. They were '68s, which are more rare, and were complete with back wall brace and strap, nice black painted frame and box, with jack instructions in good shape. That is what is worth a grand. These in the listing are better than others I see go for that much, but around $800 seems abut right. You just don't see the ones in worse shape go for less. Those are the ones I wouldn't pay that much for.

Because they like them? They are factory option, which is custom that bolts directly in. That's why. They can be done to be extremely comfortable. I have some I melted into when I sat in them.
