Not a big fan when members ask our opinion on what 914 parts are worth. If you really want to know then do 5 minutes of research.
I have been interested in several items but some members gave sky-high price estimates on them. Maybe I am old school but we are all in this for the same reason, which I hope is not making a EBay type profit off each other. I will never meet the 18,000 plus members but if I can offer them a decent part at a realistic price then I will sleep sound at night. |

In all seriousness, there is a little thing people do that really makes it hard for people trying to valuate things. They put something up for sale, and then when it sells they put $SOLD where the price was. So when you do a search months later you find one that sold, only to not know what price it sold at.
So if you sell something, leave the price up, put SOLD SOLD SOLD all over it, but you will greatly help people with a similar part. Also, a peeve within the peeve, when you email the seller and ask what he sold said part at, they never get back to you, like it's all secret squirrel! |

What's the big secret? I say it should be like the stock market exchange. Prices posted as they go up and down, market based. Information is a good thing. So are free markets. Unless of course, you are a communist. Then the state owns the information and the markets. But I don't wanna get all political here, IYKWIM! Peace out. |
