I was using the Buick NOS center caps that I have had for years as the analogy. These center caps were worth roughly $75 each for years. Since a quality reproduction is now available the NOS items have been devalued. The issue with engine parts is there was a lot of aftermarket items which functioned and performed as NOS (valves, pistons, springs etc.) but priced less. It is up to the individual to determine what is best for his car and pocketbook. Double and triple pricing should not be the norm just because its NOS!!!! Just my three cents even if it is only worth a penny!!!!!!!!!
