Re: sm465 chrome shifter

Since this isn`t a sale forum we should at least reply in reference to what it`s worth.Members come here to establish a value prior to listing for sale.That`s the whole point.He can`t sell it until he has a value.He can`t list it for sale @ best offer because that`s against the rule he is tryng to follow.This isn`t a 1st dibs forum.The best way to get 1st dibs is give a price,like me...$60.I have a painted shifter to trade if you decide to move ahead.So,what`s a painted shifter worth?...$80 J/K!I could easily have my shifter chromed for the cost of a chrome shifter,prolly less.But,if it`s that you need one,I`d trade to get you what you need.I`d like to be notified if you decide to make a move on listing it for trade.I`d figure the painted one is worth 1/2 as much.Personally,I`d make a better offer if you do decide to trade it off.Did you consider trading even-up for a powdercoated shifter?Or,doesn`t yours need to be that nice?

It`s not that they are rare.It`s that this forum gets limited responses on everything.And,prices on used parts aren`t really known with confidence by many.We just see an asking price and decide if it seems worth it to us.I just bought two GMC front fenders with original paint and no rust.One cost 2x what the other did.The cheaper one had dents in the front cup and the other was perfect.The repro knob isn`t helping the value,IMO.
