After what feels like years (actually seconds) of searching, I found what I believe to be the finest, and perhaps least rare of all the automotive unicorn parts in history.
Behold, the Red Dragon Synthetic Leather (oooooh...ahhhhh) BMW Steering Wheel Cover:
Red Dragon
Just click on the buy it now button and it can be yours for only $1,600.50
How did this guy happen to get 10 of these rare as rocking horse droppings covers? He must be man among men.

it's a good thing I don't have a BMW ... I'd be all over this
Aw man and to think how many of those I passed by at various RiceMarts! If only I knew!
'A (blank) and his (blank) are soon parted.'
Wow, after years of chasing the dragon, some junkie finally caught one.

I think it a typo. Other crap on his store is appropriately priced for E-Bay.

No, no....noooooooo!
Okay yes. Way to bring us all down to earth with your insight
I found a guy selling chrome mirror covers for superduties and he wanted like $800 each for them. I wanted a pair (to scuff and paint body color) so I emailed him asking why this $40 item was $800. He replied that he was out of stock, and when he is out of stock its much easier on ebay to change the price than to suspend and relist an item, so he just makes them no expensive that no one buys them, and when he is back in stock he lowers the price back down.
i thought the red dragon wasn't exactly street legal?

But it doesnt just fit ANY BMW. Apparently it is custom tailored for the 1990 BMW 325is Base Coupe 2-Door only.
There are hundreds of thousands of those BMW's out there I am sure and only 10 of these sought after red dragon synthetic leather wheel covers.
Someone should buy one then file a dispute saying you accidentally clicked buy. Or your kid did trying to get you a christmas gift. What with ebay screwing the sellers lately and catering to the buyers i hear.
