I've got a Saratoga top from my '71 I've had since the mid to late 70's I want to sell. I have someone interested and have NO idea what it's worth. Still have original shipping box and it is in good shape considering age.
None on ebay etc... someone has one for a 944 though. Any ideas?? |

Five or so years ago I had a nice Saratoga Top that came with my 75 that I purchased in Massachusetts. I advertised it on 914 World and David Seeland the Porsche 356 Tech guru purchased it from me for $800.00.
I spent and Hour wrapping it up in a huge box with a ton of packing material for the shipment from Florida to Colorado. My UPS guy even approved the packing as did his supervisor. UPS dropped it off the belt somewhere in the Midwest and then ran it over with a forklift, the fork lift tire tracks were clearly right over the box. I filed a claim with UPS and was paid promptly, the buyer thought I shipped him a cracked top, but it was clear in the pictures with date stamp that the top was intact prior to shipment. At that time $800.00 was considered a good deal for a Saratoga Top in good shape many I have seen have gone for $1000.00 or more. Might have been a good idea to have insured it for more? My 02.

Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Horray for UPS (United Package Smashers). We stopped using them at my last job because they tore up a 10K server in shipping and wouldn't pay for it. They said it was incorrectly packaged. It was in the factory box from Dell. |
