Default what ££ are rs 500 bumpers making?

i have one sitting in the loft for the past 5 off my track car and i cant ever see me using it.

comes complete with splitter ,which has been trimmed at the sides due to using wider wheels but is straight and in good condition.

whats it worth peeps?

£1949 as that's what the last 1 I watched on eBay made.
It had only been on the car a couple of hundred miles mind and was mint.
No splitter but came with fogs and indicators.
eBay item no 141771230330

I have been on eBay since 2005,1000 pos feedback,been ripped off less than 5 times when buying,never had a problem selling anything except the odd non payer.
There's paypal fees and eBay fees to come off your total so even if you sell for 2k you may only get 15-1600 in your hand.
Sure there's members on here looking for a 500 bumper.

True but with a second hand bumper worth 1500 I wouldn't want to risk posting it. PayPal always favour in buyers side if anything happens. If gets damaged in transit, PayPal will refund straight away leaving James the hassle of trying to get compo from courier which I can see bring easy on that sort of money

Just decide on a price and sell it on here, plenty of pics and no fees to worry about

You might reach a wider audience on ebay but you'll be charged to list it, charged for any reserve you put on it, charged 10% final value fee, and then paypal will charge you for receiving money from someone

If you can get 25% more on ebay then go for it

yes i agree ben ,but the only way i would post it is on a enclosed pallet and would cost about £100 to the uk.

It's easily worth what you said to me James, it's just a bit more than my wallet would allow!lol

When you start to get to items of that value i'm sure the buyer will realise what's gonna be acceptible and not i.e cleared funds or cash in hand etc...
