i think the price rule is a good thing.....i have always put i nice big list of parts with a price beside it and that give the buyer opportunity buy or not to buy...most of my stuff sells on here and what don't sell then goes on ebay to sell for what ever it sells for and even then i start all my items at £1 so the buyer can pay as much as he or she likes
the only time i set a price is on the big items that i have paid alot of money for

keep this rule dave it's a good thing

Dave,

Whilst I agree with your comments and your stance, I also sympathise with KL who may have bits and does not know its value.

Perhaps an idea would be to add a thread entitled ' WHAT'S IT WORTH ?' or 'PRICE GUIDE' . If this was placed, non-interested parties could give an unbiased opinion of the items value, helping the seller and buyer alike.

there are plenty of ppl on here that will give anyone a price guide on any items...i have done it befor for some ppl on here and will still give a giude if asked by any member

I have no problem with that but I will not allow threads/posts such as :-

I have a wheel for sale and I may want to sell it and was wondering how much it is worth etc etc etc

That to me reads - I have a wheel and if some muppet wants to pm and offer me a small fortune for it then I will sell it - If I get offered not as much as I want then it is not for sale.

No harm putting a thread up then?

That would clearly defeat the object....hopefully they will have more sense.

The seller should get a rough guide to its current value, and then advertise it on the other thread with the price. Winner

I would prefer a "locked" thread managed by a suitable person

They can make serious price judgements on various items

If someone wants a price on an unlisted item they cam pm the person and they can then edit the locked thread to include said item

Anyone want the role ?

But be prepared for criticism such as "your way out - too cheap too dear blah blah"

i always mark my prices on what it would cost to by from fords today on another car like the ford focas

a new mk2 escort light is worth about £75 these days but if you go to ford and wanted to buy a new focas rear light i bet it will cost over £150
that makes the mk2 escort cheap

this works for all parts to me

but i still offer cheap parts and some free parts to other members on this BB and i'm happy to help anyone out if i can

[gazd]

dave, your right folks hipe the prices because they know we need items to keep cars on the road , you all have seen it a 50p item fetching £40.00, ON EBAY,its spoiling the fun of keeping old school cars.

[enduro]

this is what makes a top site,people with a genuine interest helping wannabys like me,my biggest pet hate is when people put on ebay "may withdraw as advertised elsewhere"but get cranky when you ask what its advertised for saying just make a bid i wont give my reserve,if its advertised you know what price you want.dont mean to sound like a school teacher but this is a sound rule and much appreciated.class dismissed .

just thinking about it dave...darran moss will be good for this job as he sells parts all day and his parts are not dear and will give a very good guide for the part being sold...

That sounds a good idea too.....perhaps split it into 2 though....a MK1 Expert and Mk2 Expert.
