Asking prices does not equate to value. I respect him for trying to get as much as he can for various items, but I suspect that most will fail to sell and he will relist them again and again, and/or lower his reserve to a more reasonable level.<BR>

That's not how I roll though. I continue to offer up what I have at what I consider to be fair, realistic prices. Typically if a part is brand new in the Ford box, I offer it at 50% of what the vendors charge, and if it's used, I go downwards from there. I'm not trying to gouge anybody or get rich--I am just trying to earn back the money I spent to buy the stuff in the first place.<BR>
<BR>
And if somebody gives me something for free (I get a lot of used junk that would otherwise go in somebody's trash can) and somebody else can later use it, they get it for the same price--free.<BR>
