Bug door

[speeder]

Not sure what has happened to the online private party selling world, or more specifically, why?

I have this used VW bug door, fits several years from late '60s to '70s, in good condition w no rust or bondo, both pieces of glass, latches, etc.. It just wound up in my possession at some point and I need to clear out a storage space. There was a time when a person could practically sell their used underwear on craigslist, now it is so dead that even the scammers seem to have moved on(?) Not a peep on a common auto part like this, for any price.

Can't remember the exact price I listed it for, maybe $200 but not even a low ball offer. I know that it's not 1976 but there were eleventy billion of these sold, no one need a drivers door?

It's not about the door, it's about the former open source nature of the internet, where private parties bought and sold stuff from each other for no advertising charge and a huge audience. What happened?

Facebook marketplace has pretty much taken over from CL.

I have sold there and its a much better experience and for a couple bucks you can create a targeted ad.

Thanks. I have another door on FB and nothing yet. I have heard that "offer up" works well, anyone confirm?

You might try www.thesamba.com or a local VW club site.

It's missing the door handle, that could double the price.........

The one thing I'm not doing is joining any more forums but thanks just the same. I'll toss it in a dumpster first.

Wish I'd known. I was in LA last weekend and would have been happy to relieve you of the burden.
