I know its all about supply and demand and what some are willing to pay, but sometimes we see pricing on 914s and 914 parts that are completely beyond reason. Some are taken by these scams. Most will recognize these ploys, but a greedy seller needs only one sucker and the whole hobby for our cars suffers.
Would it be useful if we as a club developed pricing guideline for parts/cars, based on recent sales of similar, condition, rarity, and listing other options, like available repro sources for those that are not aware? Post your horror stories! Lets out these low-lifes.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

Hmmmm
I kinda feel like Jamie, thats a can o' worms. If a newb has the wherewithal to find us then they should be able to Search & figure out what is available, and what the range is for parts...NOS/repro/used. Oh and BTW how much does it cost to source recover remove clean test store & market these 30+ yr. old bits? |
