Nailed: ***CAUTION - PRICE GOUGERS*** They're lurking here..., How can you tell anymore? Options

With the prices of our 914s going up, parts prices have also gone up. But in some cases it seems they have skyrocketed disproportionately. Mostly for the privates FS ads and not including Vendors (maybe) or anyone that sells parts as a business. No offense intended. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

“Nailed and bolded seems a little much.”

That was just copy and pasted from the Parts forum. Not intentional. Thanks for all the responses. I just wanted an idea of the validity of the current trend in prices. Cheers to all.

We have as a community benefitted from the second class status in the porsche world. I have been driving one since 1988 and now with increasing values for the cars you can rightly expect increased prices on parts. Not to mention that in general these cars are getting rarer and rarer all the time and air cooled porsches in general have enjoyed an increase in prices.

I don't see crazy unreasonable prices on very many things coming across here on this site so a little perplexed by the post. If you remember that transmissions cost 200 bucks all day long and now they are all of a $500 all day long that kind of increase over the last 30 years it's not exactly price gouging. I have paid a pretty penny for some very nice high quality parts here and feel they are worth it.
