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 was going to put in a Response but that is Rude Was it from Lurker with 0 posts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) One suggestion...again...is to limit ability to post in the classified section unless registered &/or post count threshold reached. Its unfortunate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
