Default Is this a good deal for headers? What to do???

Hey everyone,
Need quick advice!!!
Should I take these headers for $675 shipped?
Polished DC Sports 350Z Stainless Steel Headers

http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/pric...tainless_Steel

Is this a REALLY good deal... or just a good deal?

The story:
So I got an email from horsepowerfreaks.com with their specials and found a set of POLISHED DC Sports Stainless Steel Headers for the Z, listed on clearance at $88.00. I don't keep up with prices much, but knew it was a good deal because the MSRP alone is $1,400 on these, and didn't see prices close to that on ebay for the similar DC headers. So I ordered 5 sets, knowing I could resell and turn some profit on ebay.
Well of course they realized they made a mistake on their pricing, and emailed me saying that they were supposed to be selling for $880 instead of $88. I didn't respond bc they said they would cancel my order automatically for me. Well they have been bugging the shiat out of me, calling and leaving messages for me to call them back. I got my last message tonight saying that they really want to sell me a pair of headers and bc of their mistake they will give me that set of headers for $675 with free shipping if I call them back by tomorrow. What should I do?

I'm a grad student so money isn't coming out of my ***... but I do have money to throw at a good deal when it arises.. I'm wondering first if this is worth it, and also if I can resell these on ebay for cost (or more) if I end up taking them off or never use them.

Basically what could I get for these on ebay right now? and what could I get for these on ebay 2 years from now after being used..

I've looked on ebay already and all there are no polished DC header auctions, only 1 store selling for over $900. All of the other DC headers are ceramic.. not stainless and polished.

Do people even seek out the DC headers on ebay... or do they go for cheapies for a fraction of the price?

I'm no pro on these headers... What do I do?!!?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Of course its worth it, but good luck getting them to ship it out for 88 dollars. Unless you can find some law that states they must give you the price listed you are probably SOL.

They want to sell them to me for $675 shipped... $88 was the mistake I caught them on, when they really meant $880 for them.
