I notice that everything I want is pciced high until I actually buy it.
Then it becomes instantly worthless!

I am having the same problem.

Want an oem rear spoiler. You can get one new with all the hardware and heavy duty trunk springs for $330.

I cant find a used one for less then $250 with nothing but the spoiler. Heck that is about the price as new since you dont get any extra's.

Supply and demand i guess.

In your case, it really is supply and demand. Spoilers rarely are offered for sale. The main reason it that they leave holes behind. So unless the seller is replacing it with something else, everyone just keeps them.

Also, there is a issue of suck a small number of buyers, seller and products. There is about 50,000 S2000 in the world. That makes things tight all the way around.

Personally, I do both. Some items I want new, I just suck it up and buy it. For others I will wait for it to post in the FS forum. eBay has also been a good souce for parts. You just have to cover your self by using a CC whenever you can.

PM that kind of info. Outside of the For Sale forum (even with membership) it is only allowed for sponsors.

Thanks
