Long time in the waiting
I have to ask to free my conscious
So I can sleep peacefully at night ...
Should I feel bad for sending these parts to the recyclers ?
$53.57
$46.88
I’m cleaning up my storage making room for good parts vs junk
Most of this stuff are things I had listed for 1-3 years and nothing... no one cared.
Discounted them...nothing and they were taking up tons of space
108mm 4 bolt axles had them at $200 a pair then $100 ... in the end I just tossed them
When I googled the part my photo would come up
First on google search for the damn axles so I know it had maximum exposure even listing them at 30-50% less than anyone else
Ac compressors 964/911/914/930 ect
Rotors (can’t give these away)
964 rear flares (stock narrow) $200 then $50
Front fender flares $100 each
964 tiptronic cooler $200 ?
964 springs after market $100 no one bit
964 + 993 shocks + springs (non m030) beaters I had for $100 complete when the tops are worth more ??!?
69-77 911 spring plates $100 then slashed to $50
Damaged cruise control servos
Not pictured 6 set of 964 oil lines had them $200 then $100 then $50 then free ...
So I cut the ends and tossed them
Did I do wrong selling this stuff to the recyclers ?
Stuff that just doesn’t sell and the effort to then ship for free is more of a hassle
I get the worst experiences selling stuff super cheap/free than tossing it
( speaking from experience)
I’ve seen and purchased old shops and how some older gentlemen end up with hoarded things that never get used then losses on tot
He next guy (like me) I stored many of those parts also with out selling them
My doing 3 more loads maybe 4 more
964 clutches
964 rotors + other 911 models
Stock 911/964/water cooled sway bars
Doors damaged/rusty (4-5 doors)
Damaged fenders
911sc lower valance damaged
G body Rear valances damaged
Glass with minor scratches to severe
Misc pipes/lines (not expensive oil lines)
Bad/dirty starters
Bad/dirty alternators
spares have them listed for $100-150 ...crickets (no not aluminum)
Gears for chain housings
Misc transmission gears
Seat parts
911 H1 USA head lights !!! I got two big bins, I had already tossed 10 of them and still sitting on tons $50 a headlight... ? (I keep the mint chrome trim) the dented trim trash
Brake dust shields
(Calipers I will sell to a caliper rebuild guy had 50 I pulled out)
Stock 911 rear shocks ...can’t give these away $50....$100 for a like new sport set..crickets. I will pair up a few struts and toss the rest
Oil tanks with exterior rust spots but they are good ...going to trash
Fuel tanks 911/912/930/964 nightmare to ship/sell even at $50-100...crickets
This is the “should I feel bad for tossing parts thread “
Later I might post other things I recycled
I don’t want to deal with trash pandas so it seems easier to just go to the recyclers and get its weight by the pound ... decreased the pieces out there in the world and raises the value of the current stock (lol kidding, but a fact)
I onced tried to give away a 10x30 storage container of 914 parts I didn’t Want
The ugly bulky annoying stuff, literally took 3-4 full dumpsters and 2 truck loads of metal for the metal Guys who recycle
What have you guys tossed away ?
