Does this seem fair?

[Legal Bill]

Hi guys. I have posted some of my parts on e-bay. Here is the link to the first lot:

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260503107583&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

I'm just wondering if my starting price is fair. I thought it was based on the unavailability of most of the parts in the lot, and the high price for an aftermarket tach drive. But I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks.

Bill

Seems fair, depending on your reserve price.
Personally, I might have seperated into two auctions. The dyno/drive in one, and gauge in the other.

Thanks, Bryan. I thought about doing it that way, but it always irritates me when I see a bunch of items I need in seperate acutions by the same person. I tried to think through what would be a sensible package, and came up with tis, thinking it would appeal to the person whose car was modified at some point, and now does not have the original parts. As I said in the add, if I don't hit the reserve, I'll break them up. Your idea of the generator and drive in one auction and the gauges in the other is pretty good. I was thinking of just listing each part seperately.

Seems a bit high to me particularly with a reserve.

^It's hard to know what is fair. The genrators just are not available any longer. IIRC, the aftermarket tach drives are being sold for a lot more than my starting price. Maybe the price has gone down on them? I'll check that out. What are bugeye gauges worth?

Ok, my mistake on the generators. Moss has a reporduction now for $200.00:

Tach drive is $99 and pulley is $90 (what's up with that? $90 for a pulley???)

https://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29341&SortOrder=33

So tach drive, generator and pulley are $400 at Moss, but I would have my generator rebuilt, for sure. Last time I checked, that cost around $75. Maybe its up to $100 now? Have any of you had a generator rebuilt lately?

I appreciate the feedback. Obviously, my goal is to get rid of this stuff.

Ray, after looking at what was available, I took your advice and dropped the reserve. We'll see what happens.
