Still haven't figured out why these are such a hot item all of a sudden. Is it a case of 'Can't get it ,so now I want it'?

heres whats going on -my opnion as ive bought a set before too!! These are parts that we usually dont see in about 2+ years on ebay being offered!! Commands high price too- my set i paid 125.00 for 2+ years back too. There was a set offered on ebay about a month back for $225.00 on buy it now - yes was a different set! and never sold!! was diff seller too. Kinda like the port hole windows we see=?? id never pay over 30 bux for anyone of those -yet sell for 100;s sometimes!! also Thrush side exhausts = expensive!1 Its all in what you want on the van & how much u can afford!! Happy vannin!

The part I don't get is that these weren't that hot back in the day- in fact, most people removed them if they were installed. They weren't 'cool'.
I get what the function is, but I just don't quite understand the demand for what was considered an 'old man' accessory. Porthole windows, sidepipes, flares, vintage mags- those are in demand for people looking to build a 'period correct' custom. But ventshades? That make's sense if they are building a clone of their dad's camper. Otherwise, they just weren't that popular back in the vanning days.

Don't get me wrong, if someone likes them and wants them on their van, that's fine- I just don't see enough demand to justify the price.

I had vent shades years ago. Sure did like the fact that you could get ventilation and keep the rain off.
