I asked the seller to show the photo with the doors open. They messaged me back saying that they had done so and asked for a best offer. Just FYI... Best to you getting your hands on it. :)

Thank you Jerry!

I have the seller’s email now to ditch the eBay fees, so maybe he’ll feel better about a lower offer with no fees or taxes to deal with. Cutting out the middle man.

The guy is being decently difficult at $160. Maybe I can wear him out, but if he doesn’t budge by the end of the summer then he won’t have a sale as I’ll be in college. Just one of those things, I can always wait out another.

One more reason to wait: the grillcloth is not correct and it would be nearly impossible to find something that looks original.

Also the grille itself is edited. It looks easy to fix but I’m not paying $160 for it. Maybe if it was PERFECT with original cloth.
