Hey Richard...thanks for offering these up. Normally a price is required on "for sale" items. Since these haven't sold yet can you throw a number out there and whether or not you are willing to ship to the US?

 

[eriknetherlands]

Fyi, listing a price isn't required on our forum.
That said, It often does make the process easier and quicker

Did that policy change? E9coupe.com used to require a price under parts or vehicles no? It would be nice if that was the rule. I understand if people want some input on price if not sure about something, but then once feedback is given, and once the member decides to sell, to me, it makes sense to list a price.

 

[rsporsche]

no it has always been a recommendation but not a requirement - several people have mentioned that it was, but .... what we don't allow is to run an auction on e9coupe. i think it is preferable to post a price and as Erik says, it make it easier and quicker.

 

[Gerrit]

Aside from the time limit, doesn´t it come to the same as an auction when someone calls for offers and waits for the best price?

 

[rsporsche]

yes ... it really does.

"$10k or best offer". Or, "make me an offer." What's the difference? The only issue is when a price is agreed upon and the seller backs out because they received a better offer. If/When this happens the seller opens themselves up to well deserved public criticism.

I buy cars daily from people who don't know what they're worth. The price is determined by what I'm willing to pay. Period. It has to work for me, and if it works for them too we make a deal.

Hey Dan, I appreciate the response but disagree on the"$10k or best offer". Or, "make me an offer." What's the difference?

The difference is with the "$10K or best offer" approach gives the buyer a starting point..."$10K." The Seller is at least stating that is a high, but is willing to go lower. "Make me an offer" to me is like buying it and selling it at the same time, which I do not like to do. Throw a price out there "firm", or "make an offer with a price listed as a high starting point." I mentioned I understand if someone wants to get a general feel for a price of something they want to sell. But don't list it "for sale" until you feel comfortable selling at the price you offer up.

This will eliminate a lot of unnecessary PM's turning the sale into a possible de facto auction and gives the buyer an idea where the seller is at. In this case for example, I have no idea what the seller is thinking price wise? Some of this stuff can be all over the price spectrum.

we know that in perfect shape, the wheels are worth about 1k each (plus or minus 125 bucks). these wheels are nice but not perfect ... and then there is shipping. so i would say 3000 bucks for the set. anybody that wants them for more than that really wants them. they are a full set of 1973 wheels, but they need to have the curb rash repaired (on one wheel) and all refinished. refinishing will cost at least 1000 bucks unless you are setup to do it yourself.

A posted price only matters when it's a benefit to you, the buyer. Otherwise, you only pay what it's worth to you. This is just how I feel about it given the world I live in.

 

[richard_csi]

I see the point of posting a price or at least giving an indication. In this case, I found it difficult to set the price and even giving an indication since it is such a rare set of wheels. A lot has also changed on the market in the last few years.

I think 3000 USD plus shipping as @rsporsche stated sounds like a fair price. I'm also open to send the wheels to the US/other parts of the world.
