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. |

Really becomes how much effect you want to put into the effort. If you catalogue and research each part, you can accurately find comps, and price accordingly. Or you can eBay, hopefully the bidding works for you. If you have a lot of parts, it will take a lot of time. Bulk sales move part’s quickly and at a discount. The idea is that someone has to take the time to accurately identify and market them, as well as take payment, and ship.
With PayPal you get a 1099 so…….. It really matters how much time and effort you want to put into it. |
