I agree with you. I still sell occasionally in an attempt to further dissipate my parts collection. For the most part, selling prices are good, certainly far more than at any swap meet and a lot less trouble.

I am not really looking for parts these days but occasionally stumble upon something I simply must have. Just scored a rather rare, concourse correct locking gas cap that was incorrectly listed. $22 with the shipping

Mike,

You know, I have lucked into a couple of nice purchases on items incorrectly listed as well. It makes you wonder what some of these people are thinking when they compose the ads. I've also seen some very low "Buy it Now" prices that I jump on immediately.

It pays to keep your eyes open and your mind in gear wherever you are.

I think some folks simply don't know what they have.
A few years ago, a guy listed "buy it now" a full set, in the box, NOS, inner trim rings for a '40. $100
I'd guess I could sell the box for that.
He also had a full set of NOS outer trim rings, NOS, $75.
That was a good day
