At Walloth & Nesch these are around €80,- a piece, and I'm talking Original Teile. BMW is an expensive brand, as quality is.

Actually:
Early ones up to '71 are $125 each in the US & Euro 50 each at W & N
later '71 & up ones are $25 each in the US & Euro 29 each at W & N

So, yes it is a rip off, but good luck to him. The Buyer should always do his/her homework when dealing on Ebay.

I've seen a lot of really overpriced stuff from the eBay seller rogertii. I was a little afraid to offend him if he was on this board, but it seems that I'm not the only one that thinks he's ridiculously overpriced. See some more of his stuff that he thinks too much of here:

Same vendor shows a BUY IT NOW price for the Hood Plastic Stop Clip of $8.95. Is this also "over-priced"? Are they available elsewhere cheaper?

yes they are but... have you ever tried to sell stuff on ebay?? by the time you pay ebay fees and paypal fees what are you left with on an 8 dollar item?
its a lot of work keeping the ads current, stocking all these parts and packing and shipping everything. thats why i wont sell on ebay any longer. it all comes down to being a smart shopper. if everyone was there would not be a market for 205 dollar euro signals that can be had for 145.00

He's not forcing you to buy from him, he's not misrepresenting the goods, he's not making any silly claims, and judging by his feedback his customers are happy. As a bonus, he knows how to spell and punctuate. You're free to shop around and buy the same thing elsewhere at any price you can find.

I've bought from him several times and have nothing to complain about. He responded very quickly to my emails and I received my items within three to four business days.
As far as the prices go, guess it's relevant to where you live. Those Euro turn signals are close to $200 per light plus 13% tax up here in B.C. Canada at the dealership. So that's $452 vs. the $205 + $13 shipping.
