any item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it..
having said that, the prices alot of AU items are going for at the moment is ridiculous. |

yea, i think the colour part is black instead... and its "genuine T-series".. therefor its value is like anything that starts with 'wedding'...
edit- i think the main reason people are shelling alot of coin on Good condition T series gear is they see it as an investment. Many see it becoming a collectors edition. so obviously the prices are only going to rise. Last edited by AUIIPURSUIT; 06-07-2010 at 10:53 PM. |

No difference per se between momo and t series. The one in that ebay auction, however, has the ESS control buttons on it (the 2 little round buttons in side the rounded triangle at the 10 to 2 position on each side of the wheel). The leather wears, so no doubt the bidding on that is between some T series owners who want a new wheel for theirs. My guess is the winner will be a WA T series owner (let's call them a miner) who has too much cash and nothing to spend it on.

Yea both you guys make a good point, may be some enthusiastic owner who wants a new wheel for his car or some may buy it to invest for the long term.

Only takes two people who want it to drive the price up, and it's worth whatever those people are willing to pay. The grey wheel was the most common (so suits the most amount of cars) also iirc the grey is the only one not still available from Ford?
