Javin Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 It has been a few years since I was active on Ratsun and have fallen out of the Datsun scene for a while. I have finally decided to get rid of my truck and associated extra parts. Not sure how to value things or where to turn to. I am near Albany, Oregon. This isn't a for sale listing, more of a plea for help in pricing. Truck- 1978 620 King cab Delux The Bad: Non-running (likely needs fuel flush, and definitely needs a battery, last turned over a couple years ago with a spare battery and some starter fluid but wouldn't stay running on decade old gas) Parking break locked up (drivers side rear wont move) Has typical rust Sun roof needs to be reattached properly and sealed Heater core bypassed and removed (to rebuild) The Good: 5 speed Best looking dash I have ever seen (no cracks) Factory Tach 350z seats Nissan Titan Wheels RGB LED lit Gauges Ratsun Shifter knob more ratsun business cards than I can count and they are everywhere So many spare parts 2 heater cores a pair of extra OEM doors (with windows and such) an extra OEM hood an extra pair of (assumed) aftermarket fenders some suspension parts new in boxes Parts I am need help pricing outside the truck: Factory Tach (Pretty sure it worked on this truck so must be a 78/79 version) (ebay looked to have sold the last one for ~$350 with cracked plastic. This one has good plastic.) 2 Gauges with good plastics A Tan Gauge cluster insert with blank for the tach Let me know what you guys think. I have moved this thing down and up the west coast and owned since like 2002. I feel guilty for not wanting to work on it but have no drive to do so. I am not a car guy anymore and would rather just part ways and find something else to do with that garage bay than store crap on an old truck. 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 500$ For fast sale otherwise you’ll be getting nick picked to death for years dealing with this on the phone with people that never show up. Farther out you are the harder it’s going to be. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 turn yourself back into a car guy you might regret this 10 years from now check craigs list prices and evaluate from there sounds like you have some good stuff with the truck 1 Quote Link to comment

Should they take care of a kid? 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I always thought the only thing to 'un car guy' yourself was getting married or have a kid To be perfectly honest, I never was much of a car guy. I liked looking at them and still do, but daily I just enjoy driving but not taking care of them. I never learned nor had much interest in learning how to wrench on them. Also, both marriage and kids happened. On 12/12/2019 at 2:51 PM, banzai510(hainz) said: A lot of Datsun owners shouldn't NOT make kids!!!!! If they cant take care of a Datsun ? Should they take care of a kid? I do a MUCH better job taking care of my kids than the truck. They can tell me what is wrong, and I still take them to the experts when they have issues I can't handle... I still have a whole load of sorting to do and cleaning of my garage and will post pictures later. I think Hainz was right about the low price for quick sell, especially with a non-runner. Can't go that low and may just try to get it minimally functional for a better sale. 2 Quote Link to comment

Just listed my Tach. First time listing but it is all packed up. Hoping for similar results to your sale. I feel like ebay may be the best option for the smaller items that are duplicates I collected. Edited December 29, 2019 by Javin 2 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Ebay is a great way to sell,, if you have the time.. You don't have to ever haggle over what it's worth . It's worth exactly what someone bids it up to. why give someone a "great deal" just to have them flip parts for a profit . 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Yeah just depends on how much time you’ve got. eBay will be great for fetching a fair value but the fees can get pricey. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment
