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

[914outlaw]

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.

It’s been a long time since we have been in a period of high inflation. Some costs are rising significantly, however there will always be people/companies that consider it an opportunity. IMO , a core gearbox shouldn’t be $500 based on what it cost to rebuild but as BJ says that’s the reality.
Sometimes you find the high priced stuff still available a year later when the presumption is it was sold at asking.
To me, there is some softening ……lots of vendors having sales to encourage buyers. Just sayin.
