New from Flintstone, GA [Chattanooga] - I'm looking for advice on pricing some parts.

[Arossi]

Hello, My name is Anthony Rossi. I'm 37 and have been driving british cars for 20 years. My father, John Rossi, passed away 2 years ago. In the late 90's through 2000's he was the top man on British Cars in the Chattanooga, TN /North Georgia area. He knew everything about them and was the mechanic for many many people. I was never anywhere near as intelligent as he was on the cars. I've always known enough to do my own work and keep my cars on the road. When he passed he left me a couple cars, but also loads and loads of parts. Tomorrow there is a british carshow in Chattanooga, TN that I am going to vend at with a few bigger items. I need the money to help my mother. Where I need help is with some pricing. I am very lost in that area. I want to give people great deals, but don't want to list things too low. I can post pictures on here or even talk on the phone is people are willing to help. tomorrow here are a few of the items I want to take:

Set of MGB Limited Edition wheels. (in last two weeks I have brought them down to bare alluminum and have polished them back to 5000 grit shine so far, they look beautiful)

Late model MGB passenger door

73 MGB Tranny with overdrive

TR250 front grill

MGB reamanufactured radiator still in plastic

MGB rubber bumpers

MGB winsheild

late model MGB front fenders and trunk

67b driveshaft

also a running 77MGB with overdrive that needs tlc

I can go into more detail if people are willing to help. I'm working today to get all these things readyy to load and vend for tomorrow.

Thanks,
Anthony Rossi

Welcome Anthony! You might want to look through our classifieds here for similar parts and see what the asking prices are. EBay is another place you might search. Also, feel free to post you inquiry for the MG parts in our MG forum and for the TR parts in the TR forum here where you might get more response.

A good place to start is (if part is still available new) at 50% of new. If the part is no longer available judge based on need (wearability and critical to function) and base you pricing accordingly.
Hope this helps. Sorry about passing of your Dad.
