I’m gonna take a loss on my RS P&C set because the dollar got stronger against the euro and now they retail for less than my 3-4 year old wholesale purchase.
It's like when you have a part that is highly valued and guys hold out for every last dollar, then the repro comes out and your part is worth half. Like 356A glass rear reflectors, they were selling for $1200 a pair, we sold them as fast as we found them. A perfect repro came out, they are now worth about $500. I know guys who wanted $1500 for their pair. Or 16" Pre-A rims, I was getting $1000-1500 a wheel, sold them all. Perfect repro came out for $399, real ones are worth about $600-800 now and don't sell very fast.
Don't get me started on 911 door pockets.
Hold out for top dollar at your own peril.
