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. |

I must be the exception..
I bought 1, 914 in 1973 and never bought a parts car or a collection of parts . I bought parts as needed, but never collected or hoarded parts.. Guess i’m a failure …. |

Not sure if I would agree, it's very possible I'm the failure. I have been a P car guy for 50+ years, recently (2020) bit by the 914 bug. 2 running cars, 3 decent resto candidates, 2 parts cars and tons of engines, trannys, ........ Being 70 y/o at some point soon I need to sort this crap out, so my wife/ kids do not be burdened. |

Being 70 y/o at some point soon I need to sort this crap out, so my wife/ kids do not be burdened. It is a good idea to sort it out and make notes for how to handle the parts. I’ve seen quite a few families have to deal with it. It becomes a burden when it doesn’t have to be. One good way to handle it is to go through it with a friend so they can help sort things out if needed. |
