Look at the prices on eBay

[jlaird]

My got, I have thousands of dollars worth of spares in my garage. Well maybe if they sell as listed.

Well maybe if they sell as listed.

That's the key isn't it Jack? People can ask whatever they want, but what are they getting?

Right now my spares are worth more to me than the money I might get for them. Maybe sometime in the future I'll be willing to let go, but not now.

Zero bids. Zero bids. That's all you see. i know a guy who lived off of dealing used and new LBC parts on eBay. Not anymore!

And ebay's ruined the fun of going to swap meets.

Are you talking car prices or parts prices? This is a $6100 and not hit reserve yet. That's a pretty good price, no?
ebay '65 Midget

 

[losmorob]

Interesting. You can look at the bidding history of the bidders. The current high bidder has also been bidding on a Cadillac. Maybe he needs the Midget for a spare in the trunk.

Salvage yard's paying pretty good prices for bulk metal!

The owner of the 65 probably has a lot more in it than the bid and will be reluctant to take a cut. Course he will expect his SUV to depreciate.
Seems the economy has everyone less interested in selling and buying parts and cars that they don't really need.
The blue original Midget in Canada that auctioned a few days ago did'nt get much of a bid either.
