I'm collecting Base hubcaps

After seeing this eBay auction, I'm going to start collecting Base hubcaps. Seriously, did someone hit these people with a stupid stick? Who in their right mind would pay $140 for four pieces of plastic?

I know that Honda charges an arm, leg, and your firstborn son for them ($48 each at Bernardi), but honestly! I've seen whole sets for a lot less and, does it matter what you're putting on the car if all you want to do is cover the steelies?

Your thoughts:

The strange thing is not that someone put out hubcaps for that price. The realy strange thing is that someone actually buy them...

I just trow mine away when I got alu rims for both winter AND summer tires...

But I could see I was stupid, I should have sold them on eBay

Actually, the starting price was much cheaper. Auction frenzy drove the price up. Starting today, I guess I won't be frequenting ebay motors as much anymore. They de-listed the Fit as a Honda model from parts searches! I s**t you not.

At last glance, someone had four Fit hubcaps on individual auctions starting at $30 each, plus shipping. I've got my hubcaps in the shop and have debated selling them (except for the fact that I've nothing else to cover the steelies with at present).
