parts pricing

Post by wittiner »

Hi All,

I have finally come to terms with the fact that I need to let go of many of my roadster parts for cars I no longer own and or are extras. I am looking for suggestions on how to fairly price the parts. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked at parts for sale ad's on forums and that sort of works if I have the same part that someone else is selling. I also looked at some vendor sites to see what their used and refurbished parts are listed at. any other good suggestions.

Thanks,
Eric

You have to put a price for each part per List rules , but you can add Or Best Offer OBO.
A link with pics and prices is helpful.

I figure a good used part is worth up to half the price of a new one. Condition will reduce from that point. Bundle pricing should reduce total reasonably. Unobtanium parts should be priced as such.
Of course, if you have little investment, it's good to help someone out.

Agree with Dan. If you know the part numbers you can go to a Nissan dealer site (like Courtesy Nissan)and see if they have a price, even though the part is no longer available. You can also have a look on eBay to get a sense for what parts are selling for. What I see on eBay (generally) is lower starting bids will get some good action where high priced parts don't always sell. IMO, some parts are just over priced and I think those sellers are looking for the owner in desperate need, which is their right. So, if you are willing to let the "market" determine the price, put them on eBay with a reasonable starting bid and see what happens. Odds are some parts will be loss leaders and other will get a fair "market" price
