Looking for a likely sale price on a few items that my scout group has laying around, already have had a few prices thrown around, and I think I know the worth of most of the items, but id like to get some input from the anyone else who might be in the know.

We have:

1) Oval Rear Window glass from a 1961 Beetle.

2) Reduction Hubs from a Split Window Kombi.

3) 4Spd Gearbox from a Kombi (bay window, unsure of year).

4) Engine – 1500 with a 1760 Big Bore Kit, Twin Webber carby, Modified cam.


So, what do people think these are worth?

ebay,is a good source, but if u list at say 99cent start "no reserve"and u only get 99 cent ,thems the breaks
contact a vw type car club and tell them wat u have,they will/should know its worth,mite even buy the whole lot in one go
at the end of the day its not really wat a person thinks its worth,it wat a person will pay

i have considered ebay, but im wanting to have an idea of worth because there is still the option of selling these parts with the rest of the vehicle. all well and good to say ebay, but when its an attempt to get the best price, ebay often is not the answer.

if i was selling for myself then they would be on ebay, but as its for a scout group, fundraising options often dont suceed so funds are often not the greatest, highest price is what im looking for

It isnt?
I have seen so much shit lately going for more than retail in shops it aint funny. And people bidding prices on pure worn out shit items paying prices they can get good quality gear for.

Time and time again on ebay I have seen items that start at 99c (or less) reach a better final price than (near) identical items which start with a higher initial bid.
