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.

The old adage: Do you want to keep it or sell it?

Jim at EASY taught me a good mantra for selling parts,
"I'm not running a fucking museum, I'm selling Porsche parts, if you want to buy it, I'll sell it."

With that being said I sell parts at market prices, which is sometimes great, sometimes not, but the stuff sells. It will take me a lifetime to sell what I have, so no reason to question every deal. Too many truckloads over the years.

On the flip side to this thread, as many of you already know, Pelican has a sale going on this weekend on selected parts. They have some pretty good discounts from vendors like 914rubber, PMB, Rennline, PMO, Dansk, Wurth, Empi, Koni, and other parts that they offer. While prices may have gone up, I'm grateful for all of the vendors who are offering more and more 914 parts for our cars.

BTW, if you're in the market for a Rennshifter, or anything "JWest", they are offering 20% on selected stuff through Pelican. Obviously I have no affiliation with any of this, but thought folks that didn't get the memo might benefit....especially while we are on the topic of prices. Happy Memorial Day to all!
