Core value?

I just sold a 6.1 that spun 7 and 8 rod bearings. I got $2,000 for it. I had about 20 people on the Hemi Facebook group telling me that I was on drugs, I was retarded, effing stupid, etc for asking that much. They all claimed that they get 6.1's from core suppliers for $500-1000 "all day long". I argued with them for awhile before ignoring them.


A few engine builders jumped in and asked where those cores were at for those prices. They said the 5.7's were cheap and easy to get. The 6.1's and 6.4's were harder to find and about $1500-$2500 depending on what was wrong with them.


The **** talkers never did show any proof of the cheap cores. And after snooping on several of their Facebook pages, most of them had V6 or 5.7 hemi cars... they know nothing about the bigger engines.
