Title: Are aircooled parts struggling to sell nowadays?
Post by: beetletom on September 26, 2016, 11:02:16 am
Have listed a few various parts up , for a couple of months now, not even an enquiry

Where as a few years ago, had no problem!

Am just about to take on selling a load of NOS classic car parts for a friend, but will I struggle to get these gone?

Possibly has something to do with brexit in the uk?! ???
Even the recession 10 or so years ago, wasn't this bad?

Mainly British stuff from the 60's and 70's...

I think there is a whaletail for a beetle, if you buy it, I'll throw in a rusty monza 4 tip and some fake Fuchs hubcaps  :D

Trouble is that most people find it hard distancing them selves from being in the "scene" to reality.

Really aircooled parts have always been difficult to sell. And it's been getting harder since we're seeing fewer cars on the road. Yes a few nice things will always sell, but only to a limited audience. but in general the quality stuff that isn't year or model specific is much easier to move on.

How many times have you seen rare in an ad, i bet the number of people who'd buy it at top dollar are even rarer!
