JFP - post a link. i've never seen it for less than $275 and IMO $200 is a fair price.

read the note at the bottom, JFP:

NOTE: To extract the Hub w/o using a slide hammer on Porsche models (excluding 356 or 914) part#'s B 90-3 along with B 90-3J are needed.

you just confirmed what we were saying.

Which costs an additional $30, not $320. To get back on point, used tooling sells for about 50% of street pricing, which is rarely list to begin with..............in this case, $125-135.

which brings it up to $265, which is about what everyone EXCEPT you has said that it costs.

add in the b90-3 bracket (another $85) and $200 is starting to look like a pretty good deal, no?

Not in my world, we have rarely ever paid more than 50% of what we could get tooling for new for anything used. And the only time we did pay more than 50% of street price was because it was fairly impossible to find, and even then it never got over 60%. If a tool costs $320 (his best price, which remains in dispute), he sould be looking for something in the $160 range or so, not $200. Good for him if he gets $200, but I don't think he will.

good god, man. the guy is just trying to sell some stuff at a REASONABLE price. if you wouldn't pay more than $160, DON'T BUY IT. your first post said that you could get a NEW one for the $200 price. you then provided a web link where an apples to apples version is......THREE FIFTY.

the rest of us might find that a $150 savings for a lightly used model is adequate for us to make the purchase.

Ahhhh, yes this is what takes place daily in the real world.

To get the maximum price for a tool, part or an accessory one should sell it in a forum where the members are not in tune to what the street price would actually be.

This takes place all the time and everyone is happy.
