thisismatt Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Since you have prices you think they're worth, why not just post in classifieds at this point and accept offers? 1 Quote Link to comment
bajango Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yeah, you're right. However, I didn't want to be one of those "crack pipe" price guys that have been popping up more frequently as of late. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Looks fine. Try here... http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/category/3-datsun-parts/?sort_key=date_added&sort_order=desc .... This is why we have the classifieds. The whole point is to avoid comments on quality and prices. Immaterial what people think or opinion about what you are selling. In the end, ether it sells, or it does not. If not, you can take the best offer, reduce the price, or keep it. Be sure to include quality pictures and a good description. This will reduce many of the questions asked. If this post begins to sound like an ad it will be closed. If you have a technical question about a part's identity or what it was on or what it will also fit, ask away and include in your ad. For example the 219 will fit any L series 4 cylinder but to make it work properly on an L16, you really need flat top pistons or the compression will drop. 1 Quote Link to comment
bajango Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I was avoiding the classifieds because I am unsure yet. I am wanting to follow my ultimate dream of getting a SRL Roadster, I have some money saved already and selling my 1972 Chevy C10, my 521 and my extra L parts will help me get there.

datzenmike Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Don't be. Sell as high as you can get for them. Best of luck realizing your dream. 1 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 IMO if you were to post a classified for the parts at those prices you wouldn't sell much. Most of these are double what people would actually pay for those parts. This is Ratsun. Mostly cheap asses. The header, 5spd, grill and valve cover would sell at those prices. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I prefer to be a cheap ass, or a smart ass, but at least not a dumb ass :D 4 Quote Link to comment

The prices are spot on with today's market. And yes, Ratsun is full of cheap asses. 3 Quote Link to comment
bajango Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thank you guys for the input! It helps me get off the fence about pursuing a roadster. Someone already messaged me about the 219 head lol. I still have at least another 2 weeks before I am home and have to make the final decision. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 That head is sought after. It peaked my interest a bit.. Quote Link to comment
