Did i get ripped off?
After posting my grandfathers old 73' mustang online a guy came buy to pick parts off of it because the car was being used as his parts car before he died. The guy seem genuine so i allowed him to take what he need given he was going to give me a fair price.
He ended up takeing both doors
The tail lights
The whole dash board including instrument panel with tachometer
and the front bumper.
Anyways he gave me 60$ for all of that.
Now i really think that all of that is worth more then 60$ for sure given the fact it was stored in a shed the last 10 years and none of those peices really had any rust.
But i am no expert in mustang prices so thats why i came here to ask you guys.
Thanks

Seems like the guy got a good deal. I know in a lot of mustang salvage yards a door alone is worth more than 60 bucks. call it a lesson learned research a little what parts are going for and then price them accordingly. That way you have a good starting point to start from and can negotiate from there

Don't fret what you think you lost. Karma has a way of paying you back.

If you thought it was worth more than $60 then when he offerd you the money you say no I want $xxx amount for all that. Since you took what was offerd then you weren't "ripped off" . I have sold lots of parts for less than I could get off ebay but I was happy that I was able make a little money and someone got a good deal. Rember not to long ago a plain jain 71-73 mustang parts car was worth maybe $200.00 dollars complete. Scott

Yes, this is why you should do your home work first.
The tach could have gone for $50.00
Doors $100+
Even at $160 or $200 bucks the guy still would have been getting a good deal.
The kicker is hawaii. Im sure there's not too many 73's on the island but hash this one off as a learning experience and dont be too hard on your self.
