Location: Fredrikstad, Norway. (Europe)		WOW ! Pretty good prices coming up here in Scandinavia too now. I'd gladly sell my 2X4 barrel early intake for an early poly 318 for a few bucks more. Let's say one grand U.S. But I wont. I'm not in the business. Only in the hobby. But of course I could trade it for something I need. Like a 2X4 for my 413 J engine, new or used, original or aftermarket.

Oldefar, looks like you're a little bit impish What was the time when you wrote your message? You should be in bed at that time!

Sorry, just kidding.  Actually I sold it a little cheaper. This is not business to me either. I prefer trade-offs.

 

But as you know, the price in US is about 1,5 times in Europe.

For example this kind of intake sold in US for 400$ + shipping 100$ is 500$. Taxes 24% and customs 2,7%.

Suddenly 400$ in US is 636,74$ / 462€ in Finland.

 

300$, it is still 509$/398€ in Finland.

200$ -> 382$/277€. Not bad, if you find one.

 

Atleast I dont' keep it in my storage, dusting.

Yes, that's the eternal question: business, hobby, price...
Generally, I sold the intake for 450€. I'm happy. Buyer is happy. That wasn't cheap, but I don't feel very greedy.
But hey, that's only my business!

Location: Perth Australia		Sami over here, theres no comparison between US price and overseas price

Small freight factor comes into it

I cant remember what part I was looking at, but I think it was those horn button insulators, anyway, the part was about 10 buck, but shipping was 32 bucks, so 42 bucks to get them here, and if I was to sell them, maybe I could make 3 bucks and round it out to 45

Then someone sees those parts for 10 bucks, and now I am a rip off?

Location: Fredrikstad, Norway. (Europe)		Well, happy to see the discussion going here. Have to get you engaged in something. Like prices, business and hobby Of which is kind of important to me. Not to judge the hobbyist, but to try to rule out the person claiming he is a hobbyist, but actually is into it for the mony. And there are plenty of them. I see them every day on websites as well as on meets and shows. Even at the board of certain car clubs.

Guees I am kind of lucky then, since I've never been even close to paying some of the pices on stuff I see for sale today. Or is it that I just have met a lot of nice people in my life, that do not want to make a buck on everything ? You guess now.

I am not sure your example was a good one ttotired. That's not what I am talking about. You should know that.

Location: Perth Australia		Well what?

Cant compare US prices to elsewhere unless the other factors are added in as well

2x4 (poly) I have here would have cost me about 500 US for the part, but shipping it here would have cost 400, so my manifold would have to be worth 1000 right? or am I a rip off for making 100 bucks and selling it for 1000 or should I sell it for 500 because thats how much it cost in the US?

Average markup in a business is 50% and up, if you dont make something like that, you wont be in business that long, but putting that markup on, my manifold is now worth about $1350.00

Would you like to buy it??


Just an example

Location: Fredrikstad, Norway. (Europe)		I guess you should let people finish writing their reply before "attacing" them ttotired. Guess my above reply answere both your posts.

Still, as you say, markup in a business is 50 % and up, then you would really be a businessman, wouldn't you ?

Location: Perth Australia		Not attacking, its just how it works with parts these days

I have a lot of 60 dart stuff here that I have either bought from the US or came in the bulk parts I bought local

At some time in the future, I will need to let the leftover stuff go, but I know that when that happens, I will probably cop some flack as my prices will be higher than US prices, and there is going to be stuff that wont sell because of it.

I am a business man, but this stuff is away from that, its my relaxation, but as much as I love to see these old cars up and going, I will at least try to recoup the costs of getting them in the first place.

I also do not expect any of my stuff to find its way back out of the country because, unless its something thats unobtainium, why would someone pay me more than what they can get the same for as much (less freight) or cheaper locally?

Only way that parts of these era cars can come here and be competative with US prices is to actually bulk buy tons of it and get it all shipped at once in a container or to get them shipped with cars

Thats for the people that are trying to have a business selling this stuff, not me, and if I was to do it, then I think it would be the more desirable muscle car era stuff that I would look at

As much as these cars do have a following, they dont come close to some of the "belly button" cars that are about.

Sorry again if you thought I was having a go, cause I wast, just defending the pricing of the OP parts.
