HarryJ Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Folks...I recently closed down an ignition and carb business I own. Now I want to sell the contents of the shop. I plan to sell each lot to the highest bidder on this forum. My rules will be 1) You must pick up the lot, I am not going to pack and ship anything. 2) No detailed inventories will be supplied, only pics and general info. (You are welcomed to get a local AACA member to view the lots) and I will answer any questions as best as possible. I will leave this posted for aprox 60 days. 3) Terms cash when you pick it up. The first lot I have for sale is a cabinet full of NOS ignition parts (the cabinet goes with the deal). This lot consists of NOS DIST caps, Rotors, Points, etc. You can see from the pics it is full to the brim. The vast majority fit vehicles of the 60's and 70's, some earlier. I am setting a minimum bid to start at $100. All of the parts are identified by manufacturer's part numbers and I don't have a cross reference, so don't ask me if I have a part for your 1967 model X.

HarryJ Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 What if I throw in the Weatherhead cabinet and it's contents with the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryJ Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Alright, what if I throw in 1200+ NOS sets of spark plug cables? They fit mostly cars of the 70's and 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
52deluxe Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 im guessing by your posts you dont have time to "ebay" this stuff, ill also guess the lack of interest is not so much this stuff not being wanted "i love digging through boxes of parts/junk" but i imagine its more of the scale of what you have and a lack of a definative list of items included. have you tried contacting dealers that work with nos older parts directly to see if they would be interested in a bulk deal for their stocks? maybe even ebay the whole lot as a bulk deal on ebay. just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryJ Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 52deluxe .....Thanx for the thought. Yes, there are other venues of which I could avail myself; however, I thought I would give some AACA members a chance to get a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Harry,I might be interested but I have little idea what would be a reasonable offer based on the limited information that you have posted so far.If you want to make it easy, name a price that you will take for it all and somebody here will probably take you up on it.

1937hd45 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Scrap the contents and list he case on Ebay, that is were the bucks are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryJ Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 52deluxe....Thanks for the thought...Yes I don't have time to put the stuff on E-bay and I have tried contacting a few commercial dealers. I do have an inventory of the parts cabinet; however, it is long and is primarily after market supplier parts numbers requiring catalogues to translate the part numbers to make and model. I thought someone in the AACA would take advantage of this opportunity to pick up a load of parts at a good price. One hobbyist/dealer did contact me although I haven't heard back from him. Over the years I have bought out several auto parts houses of their old inventory. Basically, about 10% of the parts will move fairly quickly and the other parts will stay with you forever. Again these parts fit cars of the 60's, 70's and some 80's, which seem to be in good demand from collectors today as these vintage autos are being perserved and restored.
