Re: [DMCForum] eBay Deloghini

Eventually you may get $1500....and eventually you may get $2000.  People don't want to pay those prices now that ebay is around.  Unfortunately people use ebay as a reference for how much something is worth.  Which isn't true at all.  Its a place to find good deals.  I get it all the time when I sell parts.  People saying they can get a front left on ebay for under $500......GOOD!  then wait for another one to come up and bid on it....otherwise, i have one for sale right now at $XXX price.
If you buy a parts car prepare to sit on the pieces for a while unless you sell them for dirt cheap.  BUT, eventually someone will come along who plays fair and won't try to get something for nothing.
A lot of time goes into a parts car as well.  If you want to do it right and field all the "hey, do you have this part?" questions.  I have hundreds of hours into all my parts cars documenting everything and finding a safe place for the parts.
 
Ok, my rant is over.  I probably went off topic as well.  This car looks like a good contender for a restore.  Pickup a used engine (have a few), customize or reupohlster the leather, and take your time...this one isn't a parts car yet!!!!

Figure this, a front left fender will get a good $1500+, and a decent flap 
hood will sell for at least $2000, so you can recover your money on those 
two parts alone.
Then you have a right fender without the hole and I would say thats a $500 
at least....
Then you have the louvers, that whale tail, rims, any salvagable interior 
peices that can be recovered, suspension parts, etc...
