Get shafted!

 

2020 bump

 

Just sold the GENIUS. This is only car part left, along with 3 minor collectible items. HELP me get rid of these remnants, so I can be MINI-free!

You know you need a Gen 1 cam shaft with low mileage. Don't pass this up!!

 

Buy it now and I guarantee you will get shafted.

 

Do you have any idea how much a new one costs?

This one has low mileage. Why pass it up? I should raise, rather than lower the asking price.

 

shaft it

 

Just checked eBay; there is a used one listed there, in lesser condition, for $175!

I guess eBay is where the action is for these types of parts. Cannot figure that one out though.

 

There is even a bidding war going on over there. I’m going to have to raise the price again soon, if the bidding goes higher there and even with the fees over there I end up better off.

 

Maybe the price is too cheap? Bump it a little and see what happens...

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Never thought pricing it for more would attract more interest, but stranger things.

It sold on eBay yesterday for $160 plus $15 shipping. Even with eBay and PayPal fees it will yield way more than I'd have ever received on NAM. In the end there was a 4-way bidding war on eBay. Apparently, some parts sell better on eBay than on NAM.


 

You did good & I am proud of you! I have to ask, is there something different about an automatic camshaft vs one on a standard shift? May seem like a silly question, but occasionally, car manufactures spec different parts for an automatic vs standard
