Title: Obviously No-one Here Wants My Parts!
Post by: newmember on April 19, 2004, 11:42:57 AM

Hi,

It seems obvious that no-one in this group wants to purchase my Dellorto progressive carb kit, air filter bolt on units or Sollex PICT 30 carb since I have received no offers.  Where else should I go to advertise them and get them sold?  There must be people out there who want this stuff.  Any reasonable offer will be accepted!

Thanks for any suggestions.

you can sell parts on www.thesamba.com or on ebay, but i would go w/ thesamba.

good luck.

Thanks for the info.  I don't want to do ebay cause of the shipping etc.  I wanted to stay local so I'll try what you suggest.

thesamba.com isnt local, but it gets alot of traffic. i've bought and sold there and shipped parts without a hassle.

good luck.

Thank you all for your many bits of advice.  

No, I was not at the swap.  I certainly thought about it, but my parts are so limited for VW/Porche that I thought that it wasn't worth it.  I actually have not dealt with VW's for years, specializing more in hot rodding old Ford & Chev and now restoring BMW.  I still have some old early 60's Chevelle and Impala parts (mostly lights, chrome stuff, air filters, etc.) that I am trying to get out my door as well as the speed parts for VW.  Not that much left.  If I don't sell this stuff soon, I will take it down to either the Monroe swap this spring or the one in Abbotsford (where I live) this fall.

Thanks again.
