I used to sell rear targa top seals for 914s on e-bay.
I made them myself and sold about 250 of them, with a no questions asked return of money if not satisfied. Never had a dis-satisfied customer except for one where the seal was lost in shipping. I sent another as soon as I found out.
I put a buy it now price of $39 on them and i paid all shipping costs to north america. taht basically paid to fix up my 914s, which paid for most of my 911.
I had at lease 4 auctions that went way beyond the buy it now cost, I guess the buy it now option goes away after a certain point. The highest one went for $129. funny thing was, I had another one listed to close about 5 minutes later, and it went for $100.
A non-winning bidder e-mailed me later and asked if I had any more, I said sure, $39. He was very happy he lost on the auction.
Then one of the asshats i sold a seal to decided to copy it and compete with me. He even made his auction listings resemble mine.
i called him on it in the 914 forum, the other guys defended him saying it was just competition. BS. If this peabucket had a clue he would come up with his own idea instead of stealing mine.
I'm not very active in the 914 community any more, too many guys I don't respect. It sucks because some 914 owners are very good people.
