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) |

I know a fella down in Oregon who is on Porsche's very short buyers list. He's one of the few folks that Porsche calls when their warehouses get overloaded with "obsolete parts." He buys bulk NOS and when Porsche needs one of em'....which happens, they buy from him. He's prolly told this tale to several thousand folks over the years.
NOS parts really shouldn't enter into this conversation. Msteins dash probably came from Gary via the great circle route (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I prolly still have an AA catalog around somewhere. I sold about 6-7K worth of "914 stuff" which helped me build my race car.....that's at 50% of AA prices...or less. It was all nice stuff (one exception I can think of....fuckin' T-4s). The rusty shit went into the recycle or dump. Each of us is self policing. Either you have integrity or ya don't. Some "Rule" ain't gonna help one damn bit. Back before the net I was into a group of guys that could be trusted. The group grew to the point that you could "get the straight dope" on about any Porsche part buyer/seller. Los of money took snail mail and it was a comfort to know who you're dealing with. It could be done here if folks would listen rather than argue. Bullshit travels at the speed of light these days. That is tough to overcome. |
