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) |

Just like cars, parts are worth only what someone is willing to pay for it.
For every "greedy" seller, there is an equally foolish or un-informed buyer. Jeez people, everyone knows that they must shop around. . . If you think the price is too high, don't buy it; it's really that simple. Don't publicly bad-mouth the person; they may not be "greedy" at all, but may not know they are asking too much. On the other hand, some buyers are just really cheap SOBs who think it's still 1975 and think they should pay 1975 prices. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
