FS: 986/987 Speedster humps

[Javi Cooper]

I might be interested. Are the spin locks the same as the hardtop?

[Starter986]

I purchased my humps a few years ago, and from a forum member. It came with the OEM bags, and he included shipping across the country. $400. I purchased the spinlocks... another ~$100.

Your $800 may align with the market price, but it also reveals youi an opportunist with zero sense of community. GLWS.

Yes, Javi. The spinlocks would work with the HT or the humps.

Pretty strong statement...

Unfortunately prices of anything two or more years ago do not reflect todays prices. Shipping is stupid expensive right now as well. I recently sold a part (at a forum discount) for a price +shipping. The part was not heavy but considered oversized at 22"x 20"x8". The cost to ship was the same price as the part.

Actually it shows a lot about your character since you find the need to post this. I bet you’re a real joy to be around in person. Just because you paid a different price you think the current market value is the same? Desperation is $400 including shipping, not market value.

The price posted is what I paid and I fully expected to receive lower offers (OBO). This is after checking multiple sources for current value and recent sales.

My post reveals zero about my character, thank you. I am, in fact, a joy to be around. You can ask both people who well know me.

Desperation is $400? lol. No, $400 is one enthusiast passing along to another enthusiast a fair, reasonable, and thoughtful deal. That's not desperation, that's generosity.

You paid $800? I'm sorry, that doesn't align with my sensibilities.

Good day.

Starter what this post reveals is that you are definitely a ‘character’. As Billy Joel sang ‘Don’t go changing….. we love you just the way you are!’

PS. My humps came with the car, I use them maybe twice a year at show and shines and the occasional cars&coffee event. Everyone loves them and I think I could get better than $500 should I sell, but then again, that’s in Canadian dollars, so about $32.50 USD.

I’ll give you $40 USD, but you need to ship them for free.

LOL! So true!

$500 doesn't seem unreasonable... if they come with the bags.

Aside from a few parts/pieces I've given a few members (postage) likely I'll hold on to the humps, extra lights, and other parts until/IF I sell the car. When I die I'm certain my wife won't be asking market prices for the stuff. She's not as savvy as I. /S

Have a great week my Northern Pal.

If you don't like the price, don't buy it (or make an offer). People have no obligation to underprice parts just because this is a forum.

Think about this- if it's not kosher to ask market value for parts on here, people will be disinclined to offer parts to this community, and just sell on eBay- making it harder (and ultimately more expensive) for us to get parts.

It takes extra time to post on here, and the probability of a sale is lower because of the small audience. Anyone taking time to post parts at market value on here is already doing a service to this community that they're not obligated to. Asking them to also underprice the parts and give them away isn't reasonable.

Yes, it’s the same spinlocks that cost around $100 new. I’ve never tried to remove them once I put them on the car. If that’s the only thing holding you back for some reason let me know and I’ll pull them.
