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. |

Thanks everyone for your insights and suggestions.
The question was really a general "what is your approach". I do not have a huge stash of rare 914 parts. I have only had the pricing quandary a few times and rarely regarding 914 parts. Here's an example. It's an early 911 roll bar mounting plate. I only have the right side. I communicated with a couple people on early911sregistry about it because I would rather have it go on someones build than sit on ebay for 3 years. |

That sounds like an option for some sellers: trying to find the buyer most likely to use a part for a worthy project car, not necessarily the highest bidder--and not likely to be a flipper. |
