I posted these a few months ago because they were NOS.
Must be considered pricey because they haven't moved.
Oh, and be very careful around this seller...he's very slippery.

And be advised those are not a genuine GM part, the boxes are similar but are not Delco boxes.

Seller has been known to misrepresent parts and to adjust pricing at the last moment.

I searched him on this site. Interesting. I would like to have these parts for my 66 build, Not sure how else to go about it. I'll keep everyone informed.

Well I went ahead and worked with the seller on his 66 bezels. I got them in today, but have not had a chance to fully polish them up. As known, they are not the Delco parts, but the service replacement parts. Had some people tell me they were made at the same location and I believe them based on the quality. Anyway, they look great overall. Certainly some shelf wear and some minor pin point pits from age or even from new, but are clearly NOS and what I expected. I have had a lot of NOS chrome over the years and none of them are perfect as most of us know. I'll post some photos sometime later once I get them polished up.

As far as the transaction, he did not take paypal at the time and I sent a postal money order but he said his bank would not take it. He ended up opening a paypal account and accepted payment that way. I was a little nervous about him having both forms of payment, but he did in fact send back the postal money order as agreed so we are square and he followed through with his end of the deal. I am not sure about past workings with him, but overall I am satisfied with how things went. Cost me about $220 including the shipping from Canada to MN.

From this I'm reading that you sent a US Postal money order, but his Cdn bank wouldn't take it.    Canada Post would cash it.

I know this as I ran into the same in reverse about 15 years ago.  I sent a Canada Post money order to a guy in the USA.  His bank wouldn't take it, and stamped "Refused" or something like that on it.   I checked with Canada Post, and they said for him to take it to the US Post Office, which he did and they cashed it.

correct, I sent a US postal money order. I thought it was strange that he was not able to figure out how to cash it since I have sent US postal money orders in the past for parts in Canada and have had no issues. I was nervous, but kept pressing forward on the transaction.
