PassionFord Post Whore!!
I hear what you are saying, it's down to the seller if he wants to go all out for the crazy price or if he feels more comfortable selling the parts on at a sensible,realistic price knowing they will be going on to a fellow Ford enthusiast who will be very happy to get them. Personally, any parts I have sold over the years have never been overpriced as I don't believe in ripping people off.

So it sounds like ford is going the way of audi. Pretty much 99% of bits for the ur quattro, s2 etc is now NLA. But at least you still see ford stuff on ebay, the audi stuff is long gone and if it does come up prices are eye watering.

They are rarer than they were 10 years ago and command a premium that's the way it goes

All the time people with more money than sense keep paying the crazy prices they will just keep going up and up!! Pure greed and a lack of any conscience is the driver of prices of so many parts high-lighted in this on-going thread.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
I think there’s a big difference between selling an old clip for say £50 and then selling something like a brand new old stock front bumper or sunroof for a grand each! (Ooh I wonder why I said that)
What pisses me off is when they want top dollar but can’t even be bothered to give it a clean.

I think biggest issue with most listings I find is people are not interested in shipping anything, I don't have time to be driving all over the country so have had to keep waiting around for auctions to come up with shipping. I tried asking friends and family to help me out and collect stuff (i'd cover fuel etc) but unfortunately the people I thought would help me since I helped them out over the years are not interested.

Depends how good a rep it is,if it looks the same as a saph cos then to anyone who is looking around for 1 to steal then it is every bit as likely to get lifted as a real cossie,the parts are still worth money even if the engine isnt there so if I had a rep I'd be every bit as cautious as if I had a real cossie.
Watching that washer bottle closely,I picked up 2 and a 2wd header tank from a closing down sale at a ford garage near me.

And Yeah still having issues with people not posting which makes parts hunting a pita. Though I did buy a ur quattro bumper this week that was mis-listed. Turned up later in the week with zero packaging, just labels slapped on the bumper/spoiler cover
