Barracuda fender on FB

Yep I have heard all kinds of”snarky”BS. Right now I have six sets of 67-68-69 fenders. Should I sell them for your price?? Thats idiotic! You don’t know how I traded/bought/acquired these. I have bought and sold auto parts since I was 9 years old and I don’t remember needing anyone’s opinion on prices. This is exactly why I don’t advertise on here. The fenders you are whining about are not mine, if you don’t need them-don’t buy them-but then you and I both know you never had any intention of using these fenders. But if you could”resell” “flip” you would be all over them.

well, here's the thing "d5667" - i'm glad you have been buying and selling used auto parts since you were 9. i'm sure you learned a lot about which parts are worth money and which ones are not. and i have NO DOUBT that you have had big SCORES where you gave some widow or old guy $10.00 for "just an old piece of junk" knowing FULL WELL that you weren't "buying" that part but you were STEALING that part because you knew that it was a special part and you ended up selling that part for MANY times what you paid for it. some guys have no problem living their life like that - that's fine. but i've never been one of "those guys." i was raised on a farm where you had to do hard work and there had to be some relationship between the work a person did and the benefits one realized. i have no problem selling "rare" parts for a "premium" because the part is rare or exceptionally nice. but i believe there is even a limit to this practice. like i said, you and guys like you feel just fine selling a part for as much as you can squeeze someone for that part where there isn't ANY relationship to what it took for you to get the part or how much you paid for it. great. good luck to you in all that. this is America, you can ask any price you want for your parts. you can even convince yourself that just because they are "your parts" they are suddenly "gold plated." i've met guys like that also. i have sold parts for mopars that i felt were very reasonable prices. and you know what - i just bought a few things from a guy from michigan who sold me an OEM 440 double-grove crank pulley for my M-Code cuda for $45.00. the repop pulley goes for around $149.00 and i've seen guys asking up to $200 for the same pulley if it was an original mopar part. that guy just happened to be an old mopar guy and was just happy to help me with my project. but hey, like i said "5667" "you go girl" - you make just as much MONEY as you can on your parts.
