Auction says "new in box," but photos show it outside the box.
How does that work, exactly?

Million / Millieone - I see what you did there.Originally Posted by DMCflux
I wonder if this is the same one that was listed a few months ago, again on the proverbial closet shelf?
EDIT: OK, I see that it is. the current ad says that it was found on the shelf in January:

So either this is a second one, or the buyer of the first one backed out.

That it will be put back in the box when shipped. lolAuction says "new in box," but photos show it outside the box.

I doubt they intended to imply "NRFB"

Aren't aftermarket clusters a lot cheaper? I think I saw one somewhere for about $300.

The underlying sales pitch for this one is that it is "concours".
Personally, I would think that any concours car, at this stage, would already have one, but if you had a near-concours car and you really needed a grey binnacle, this one would be for you. A somewhat niche market.

Not only Concour car owners care about having OEM correct parts. Considering the auction price I'm thankfull I am not in need of a binnacle as mine is equal to the one pictured in the auction, but if mine was cracked I'd be seeking a correct replacement over a stitched recovered one. DeLorean ownership is not a cheap hobby.

Honestly, knowing Ed, even if you do meet the reserve and win the auction, he'd probably still request your vin and proof that it's a concourse car, otherwise he'd refuse to sell.
