Need some help with my pricing? I listed this for $400 thinking it's half the kit from PMB so I went with a little less than half the price of the full kit. Is my price still to high?

PMB does show $795 for the front and back sets with bearings for front and rotors so it just may be no one needs them right now . if I have a new not used part I am re'selling I usually start at about cost me minus 10%, so all you can do is lower it until you get interest or wait a bit. I have that exact conversion kit on my car and the rotors are going to last a long time as I don't drive the car very much, only about 5k miles since putting them on a few years back, but I will eventually get a second set of rotors, thing is that just rotors are like only $82 a pair right now onsale, so if you don't need the bearings or studs and just have to drill the rotors for 5 lugs its hard to justify another $300 more I think, maybe I am wrong.
Give it some time. Why are you not selling the rears and fronts as a set, you might get more interest with a full set.

GLWTS though.

I'd be game at $410 shipped double boxed & bubble wrapped to prevent rotors from blowing out a single box job. That is DRPHIL's -10% to $360 + $50 for shipping. I've shipped similar weight components double boxed and it typically runs $50-60 UPS insured.

I can machine my own rotors so my math is $100 each rotor, bearings+seal = $200 raw material costs.

The other $200 would be my time saved to layout 2 rotors, drill, and tap + cost of studs.

I'm not in desperate need timing wise so if someone else wants to step up at full cost I understand completely.

@DRAPHIL914 thanks for the information. Interesting on the $82 per pair. The last time I called PMB they didn't list replacement re-drill 5 lug rotors. I was given a price of rotor cost + $250 for the machining and taping per side. As for the rear porting of this kit, I'm goin to be using it on my car once I get to building . I'm now going to install 911 front suspension instead. Again thanks for the information very much appreciated

$82 per pair is the 4-lug on sale not machined
So you are right, they charge a pretty penny for that machining which really was set up years ago when we did a group buy. That expend has been recoup the set up for doing that a long time a go , and usually our venders like 914rubber pass that savings on to the members here.
We have a local shop here that can dril and tap them for a lot less than $200 a side! Sorry I didn’t mean to mislead. I do think eventually I will try and get the 911 conversion front end with 911 hubs calipers etc but I’ve been happy with this system so for anyone considering doing this conversion it’s so easy to do.!
Happy selling!

Unless I'm misreading PMB's website its not $82 per pair, it is $82 each for the unmachined late front rotors. Thats $164/pair and then you need to add in bearings + seals.

$82 each sounds right. Rotors are not usually sold in pairs.

After working at a bunch of different small businesses, I’m hesitant to judge how someone makes their “profit”, There are so many cost just to open the door and turn on the lights, let alone sell a product or service. It’s way more involved than most people could imagine.
