I'd assume the point is to help buyers get a good reference in what a product is worth. Like someone selling from a different site, they would come and check and see if what that sellers asking price is is reasonable and maybe either haggle or suggest a price thats not "lowball".

It's thought but in the end I can see this super unorganized unless Op were to make a list of parts and then make an average price ex. Skunk 2 UCA (used) 100-150 depending on shape. But yeah it would still be messy

Its always been my Belief that a seller prices their items how they choose. Its up to the consumer to look up retail prices online and ect. Im all for fair prices on easily accessable items sold every where online. But when it comes to rare/ high demand items, then the market sets the price. Thread would work good with a attached excell spread sheet, but deals vary so keeping it updated would be tough.

More for anyone who runs into "make an offer" dickbags or curious as to what people would value an item they sell.

Like if I was to sell my car, I'd post a mods list, ask what people would consider paying pending mods and condition of vehicle.

Ah alrighty, typically mods decrease value though, Even to a modder/tuner a clean slate it worth the risk of not getting some one else's headaches.

Hence the reason asking the fellow community what they would pay for your item/vehicle. Removes some of the guess work.

Really good idea for a thread heres my star buy

This is worth every penny takes less than half the time to remove or install the valve keepers than any spring compressor. I've had the tool for a few months and used it on a number of friends engines as well as my own and can't find a fault with it yet.

if you have a B series Vtec motor and are needing a new dizzy cap, rotor and plug wires, there is a service bulletin about it in the ACURA system,

basically they replaced all that for emissions and you can pick the lot for around 60$ if i can find my box that has it on it ill post the P/N or you can ask any acura tech or search on line.

and if you know how much wires cost and etc separately, you'll know how good of a deal this is.
