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.

I don’t understand the concept. Sellers can ask anything they want. Buyers can choose to pay at the list price, negotiate a price or choose not to buy it. Unless it’s a little old lady getting scammed by someone or unfairly pressured … we are all adults here, able to make our own buying decisions.

Also agree that we've enjoyed the second class status and it's worn off, now we pay out the @ss for some things, heck look at wheel and engine prices, even just a decade ago most were about 2.5x less than they are now "all day long" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
