How do you price items that are so rarely available that there are no "comparable sales"? I've run into this issue a few times recently in the process of trying to clean out stuff that otherwise is going in the inevitable estate sale.
Just looking to hear peoples thoughts on this subject. It's a quandary for me because I don't want to be "that guy" who is trying to gouge fellow enthusiasts but the flip side is a) just like everyone else I have bills to pay, family to feed, cars to fix, etc., b) I really don't want to repeat selling items cheap, trying to be nice, and seeing them being "flipped" for a profit (this has never happened with 914world, BTW). Hit me up if you need an early 911 power window motor LOL. |

If it’s just a couple items post details and clear photos here for opinions, to be sent to you by email if PM for confidentiality. Tag the parts supplier members who are up to date on current market trends. In no specific order:
914sixer Dr914 Bdstone Bontempi Who else? If it’s more than an item or two, offer to pay 1 or more of them for a confidential appraisal. These are specialists and their time/expertise is valuable. Then decide if you truly want to sell for a reasonable price today or pass them to your heirs to probably give them away. |

I do not have a "lost warehouse" full of super rare parts. It's just the odd item that has been sitting on the shelf so long that it has become NLA. To clarify, here's an example. NOS 2.0 fuel injectors. I'm pretty sure none have been publicly offered for sale in the past year, or longer, other than by ebay gougers trying to get $900 for a set of 4 (none of which have sold in whatever time period ebay displays sold items). |
