Default Question for my upstate friends...

I have a box from the last part-out and consists of just about every nut and bolt in the enitre car, i'd say it's 99% complete in terms of nuts and bolts, only thing not included is diff mounts and engine mounts. This is my second box, i have another large one i pick through occasionally.

What would you pay for it? What should i list this for? Some bolts go for 10+ bucks from the dealer, especially suspension bolts and larger ones. the box is about 12" x 18" x 8" and everything is labeled and in plastic ziplock baggies as to where the bolts go. i'm having trouble with a price point, i don't want to list it too low

Clearly you are mechanically inclined, my thought is some people who might be interested in such a thing might not be at your level

I think the price you can get for it is completely dependent upon how organized it is
One big box of stuff dumped into it is going to go for way the hell less than a big box of LABELLED stuff dumped into it

How organized and labelled is the stuff?
Are you willing to spend the time to label and organize stuff?
How much time are you willing to photography stuff so just how complete can be understood?

Just random thoughts off the top of my head, on a Friday afternoon, after a couple nice cold ones....

It's all labels like front uca, front lca, driveshaft, top, etc etc. so that all the front uca bolts are in 1 bag and so on. Pretty well organized I'd say

The bolts and the plastics you've set aside for me and I'll give you 100 total and pick them up.
Just a friendly what-the-hell offer.

That then increases the value a great deal

I'd keep it. You never know if/when you'll need a spcialty bolt. Consider it insurance.

i agree with jeff's 100 bucks picked up... but for someone a little less educated about how much some of those bolts cost... i'd say 50.

Jeff is already picking up 65bucks worth of parts, and no offense jbut i'll pass on that offer. i was actaully thinking of listing it in the 200-250 range, it's literally every nut and bolt and fastener and in a pretty large box all nicely labeled. With oem pricing it's proabbly 500+ easily, i'm sure a track guy would want to scoop it up. i just wanted to get some input from you guys, to see if that price would be thought to be too low lol.
