Re: For Sale '69 Z/28 LT-1 valve covers
here's my .02 and I still have .98 left for 49 more comments.
PRIVATE AUCTION= OK with me . as far as 'his' buddy bidding it up. . set your limit and stick to it. PERIOD.
I've sold 600+ parts there and I'm still semi-poor without a SUPERCAR so it's not like I've made a million bucks there. I've done maybe 25 privates. I only use private Auction in a case just like his of original collector type parts. The first collectable thing I sold on ebay I had done all the homework to research my numbers/dates/applications etc. for a Ford 428CJ carb. the guy who bought it made sure he told me that someone else had emailed him offering the same number carb for less. I had thebutt and vowed to never run an item like that again for viewable bidders.
BIDDING AGAINST BUDDY ISSUE= basically I have no other friends that i have to worry about that with but again it goes back to the set your limit thing. And the main thing is wether I NEED it or WANT it. I do mainly chevy truck parts and I only let it get by me when someone I know is bidding on it and i don't have to have it , in other words maybe i wanted it to resell. Yeah, I know truck parts don't compare to Yenko parts but the principals are the same. So it's a private auction and you WON and maybe you outbid your pal, but you won't know it unless he comes here and bellyaches that he lost to an unknown bidder. hey, you don't have to tell him for god's sake. Never rub salt into a wound and don't burn bridges is a good rule when it comes to that. If it's NOT a private Auction and your THAT good of buddies email each other and find out what the deal is . Do you NEED it or WANT it. Happy Bidding and at this point I'm glad no one knows my user ID. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
