Your have to undercut the prices on eBay. These cheapskates aren't looking at appliance parts pros. Some of the vintage stuff may never sell. Some take years. |

sometimes you just need to cut your losses and price really aggressively, it does cost $ to hold inventory. I've bought mint KA 17 and 18 series d/w for $50 and even gotten some for free, you're in competition with that, plus shipping costs also detract from sales. Market audience for vintage parts is very small. I sold electronics on eBay for 2 decades... it always comes down to price!

I'm in Decatur. About 45 minutes east of Springfield. I'll get some pics for you in a bit. |

Hi Aaron, I like you have 1000s of new and 10,000s good used appliance parts we would love to sell.
I have scaned over your Ebay listings a few times and most of your newer parts are priced WAY to high, and the cool older stuff there is just almost no demand for.
I sent you a note a month or so offering $20 + $7.50 shipping for a KA detergent cup [ M-79439 ] you have listed for $39.95 + $7.50 shipping, I never heard from you, if you really want to sell stuff get realistic on the pricing and work with people.
I would probably buy stuff from you now and in the future, but you have to keep in mind a large part of your market are folks that fix appliances for a living and we can buy the newer stuff wholesale.
In may 40 year + experience repairing appliances you will be very lucky to get even the orignal retail price for most old NLA parts, I would still buy the KA DetCup you are selling but the last retail price I found for it was only $5.27, again I would still pay $27.50 including shipping, otherwise I can just fix the old cup.
