Or any other relative price for that matter. They may have had some relation to BMW list prices at some point but they are no longer even close in any way up or down.

Just trying to keep someone from getting burned.

thats true Scott

Hmmm....do you have a lower passenger side door trim piece? I didn't want to spend the dough to get one new piece of trim....I just need one to cover the clips!

Email me at clay [dot] weiland [at] gmail [dot] com if you have one.

Thanks!

real selling prices for USED parts :

as experienced out in the swap meet fields =

I am digging through my 30 year stash
seats,(condition? & color?) = free to $100 each

steering boxes = (rough feeling? gears, leaking?) = $10 to $200

trim = (must be perfect or it's just free or $1 stuff)

I have paid for a storage unit for at least 10 years, so I need to recoup something for that. = wishful thinking - your loss


tii struts = $10 to $50

exhaust manifolds = tii - up to 150 non-tii $10 to $100

tight steering boxes (no leaking of course ) $150

well I hope you can sell everything you have saved up... my only concern is... for the last 2 months I've been looking for a popular item... which happen to be tii struts... I've seen them in diff places and everyone is over pricing them... ie has them for 605 each... 2002haus has them for more... everyone on ebay or here want a little more than half of new (650)... so I called the dealer to get my price quote and they wanted less than most.... they quoted me 800 for both brand new... boy was I surprised... hope you can give really good prices... I know you don't plan to get rich but your the man... your the one that has what they need... negotiation is always fun... by the way, you mentioned tii struts... if you have a pair let me know... I'm still interested... email is rancherito831@yahoo.com

thank

I think a fair price for GOOD used parts is in the neighborhood of 50% of the best current deal available to the buyer of it's replacement cost. The better the condition, the higher the price-naturally.

It's been my experience that Flea Markets and Swap Meets are displays for JUNK! Their pricing is irrelevent.

Unfortunately, some owners(who bought their cars for $100-$xxx) think parts should cost comparably). But we're talking BMWs here and something that has been called a "Cult(seriously bordering on collectable) car".

Now if you're talking NLA parts................... for a "collector car"? The buyer should be prepared(and probably is).

Mac,
good to hear from you, hope you can come to windy city vintage fest
Ponchis,
I'll check the pile, but I have seven tii restorations to plan, should be an extra pair.
Clay,
I should have one, this is an example of what I was saying, when these were $20, we changed all the mouldings on every paint job, now we are more selective.
Stephen,
thanks for asking, so far it's great, I'll need to swap differentials for a slight whine, and there are a few minor things to attend to.
C.D,
I don't view the storage as a cost of business to mark up, but I can't listen to someone shopping struts at $200-$400 ea, and sell mine for $50 knowing that they were taken from recently running cars and stored for 20 years inside. This post was not a fishing trip, just a plea for opinions, and i appreciate yours.
as for RealOem, I checked the tii exhaust manifold there, on maximillian, and on BMWDCS since I work for a dealer, realoem was just over $300, dealer list is $398, Max was just less than that.
Thanks for all the input
Dave

tii struts are going up to $300 a pair-

I've been happy to find singles for around $100 when I've needed 'em.

Trim, LSD's, boxed trailing arms- it's all gettig more pricey.

Any chance you have any of the window chrome molding (inner or outer - i need both) its the stuff that has the rubber and felt built into it.

The longer I look at mine, the more I realize I'm gonna be sending a $600 check to blunt soon...
