My engine died... not from an IMS failure

The supply/demand just isn't there. And when you factor in the time it takes....unless you just want a fun hobby that might return SOME money, cut and run.
And all good for you to say Jake would buy his engine, sorry, by his engine?? Ever tried shipping an engine?
Me thinks you don't have a clue.

BS, I had a complete hood latch for sale on eBay and a person from Japan bought it and paid just about as much in shipping as the cost of the part. Sold my amber side markers in less then a week.

Parts are getting harder to find for these cars. This forum is filled with cheap folks. That's why parts sit here or the person is asking too much for it or they think it's "rare".

Perfect example http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-parts-sale-wanted/55565-fs-silver-interior-dash-switch-surround-trim-rare-deal.html

Who in there right mind is going to pay $125 for that piece? It's not even complete.

You try telling Quality Porsche Parts on eBay that Boxster parts don't sell while they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Also if I remember correctly Jake sets up the shipping part on a motor. He knows how to do it best.

This guy does it the best way on here. People come to him for parts.

All you have to do here is say I'm parting out a Boxster and you will get flooded with people wanting parts.
