How do you price items that are so rarely available that there are no "comparable sales"? I've run into this issue a few times recently in the process of trying to clean out stuff that otherwise is going in the inevitable estate sale.
Just looking to hear peoples thoughts on this subject. It's a quandary for me because I don't want to be "that guy" who is trying to gouge fellow enthusiasts but the flip side is a) just like everyone else I have bills to pay, family to feed, cars to fix, etc., b) I really don't want to repeat selling items cheap, trying to be nice, and seeing them being "flipped" for a profit (this has never happened with 914world, BTW). Hit me up if you need an early 911 power window motor LOL. |

Porsche and VW guys are generally easier to deal with than some other enthusiast groups. I've never quibbled on super rare items and simple negotiations for Porsche NOS parts have always been direct. Vintage BMW guys aren't like that. I've had two unicorn E9 items for sale, a NOS 3.0CSL alloy door priced very fairly, and a 5mm lightweight Glaverbel windshield posted with "make an offer", simply because such a thing has no BMW comps. So far, nothing on the door, and several "so what do you want for it" on the windshield. I guess the concept of an offer isn't clearly understood.
Part number for the Glaverbel is the same as for a '73 911RS lightweight. Guess how much those change hands for? |
