I was on the carport this morning attempting to beat an old riding lawn mower into submission when a truck pulls up in the yard.
Two guys get out and ask if the dueces in the back yard are mine (no, I'm just deuce sitting them................here's your sign).
I give them the 50 cent tour and one of the guys says he buys and sells oddball lots of stuff when he gets a deal.
On his last deal he says there were several deuce hardtops (new in the crate) in the bunch and he wants to flip them to me.
Both of my trucks already have hardtops so I have no personal need for them.
But the Green Iron Addict in me sees the chance to score some "product" to resell to my fellow junkies (no need to thank me).
I checked retail price at the usual suspects and new ones are north of a grand. Used ones start at 600 bucks and go up.
He seems to think 600 bucks a pop is fair but I have to consider schleping them to rallys, tying my money up and storing them until they sell.
I don't want to insult the guy (he seems to have done his homework) but I am wondering if I can make a deal and sell them at a reasonable profit.
What, in your opinions, would be a fair price at a rally taking into consideration the economic times we are in.
This is not a for sale ad.......if I get them I'll post them in the classifieds with a price.
I'm just trying to make a judgement call and I seek your input.
Thanks to anyone that cares to chime in.
