Quick WIW, Need to Make Offer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sjarrett71 · 05-28-2009, 08:46 PM

Found a set of rust free 68 fenders at a house I was at the other day on a domestic disturbance. They were behind an old Oldsmobile Cutlass parked under a car port. The guy that owns them was not home, he was in the hospital. I talked to his son who called me tonight. He talked to his dad who said make an offer on them. He does not have an old truck and they are just sitting there and are going to rot away if I don't buy them. I don't want to insult him but I'm not made of money either. Seeing he does not have an old truck or anything to use the fenders on and they will rot away if they are not used what would you offer for them?

I have no pics and I know this is in the wrong forum but I need an answer pretty quick. I am going to get a better look at them tomorrow morning.

Jim_PA · 05-28-2009, 08:50 PM

$300, since you have the upper hand.

tcb-1 · 05-28-2009, 08:53 PM

I'd be inclined to say $100 a piece. $200 for both shouldn't be an insult...

I have to commend you Scott. even on duty, your still on patrol for truck parts!!!!!

and CONGRATS ON 1000 posts!!!!!!!

cruiserman · 05-28-2009, 09:28 PM

$150

toomanytoyz · 05-28-2009, 09:47 PM

I think $150.00 would be a Reasonable & Fair Offer...........

Good Luck whatever Happen's...........

68shortbed · 05-28-2009, 10:04 PM

I would start @ $50. Always lowball what could it hurt.

basemodel67 · 05-28-2009, 10:48 PM

I'm with 68shortbed- Start low. If they don't take it, remind them you have a gun.

**fine69** · 05-28-2009, 10:56 PM

Make them give you a price.

Act stupid.

67ChevyRedneck · 05-28-2009, 11:05 PM

$50-100 depending on condition for the pair.

If they're real nice I still wouldn't go over $200 for the pair.

*67chevy3/4tontruck* · 05-28-2009, 11:19 PM

work somthing out with the guy

**special-K** · 05-29-2009, 08:18 AM

Do you know the condition?

I`d expect to pay $100-125 each if they are dent & rust free.More,if they are real clean.Anything less is great.

chuckmc8 · 05-29-2009, 08:28 AM

Its like everything else, its supply and demand. If he dosent need them, anything more than scrap value is a plus. I'd offer $25 each and expect to buy them.
Here's an example, How much would you sell a pair of, say, Ford Torino fenders for? $25each...you bet.....cause you don't need em and thats more than scrap....JMO

big_al_71 · 05-29-2009, 08:34 AM

I would offer him $100.00 for both

cdowns · 05-29-2009, 09:03 AM

i'd offer to take them for free in exchange for not turning him in to the zoneing dept

UltraBlue71 · 05-29-2009, 09:36 AM

So back and steal them in the middle of the night! Start at 50 bucks they are just junk to him anyway!

rambler · 05-29-2009, 10:05 AM

any price you shoot probably will be too low for him, so I would offer $25 each and take both for $50. they would be going to a good home,a nd they are rotting away right there.. I would not pay more than $100 for them...

70rs/ss · 05-29-2009, 10:33 AM

Wow, you guys are harsh! I'd say nice rust dent free fenders are about $75-100 each, but I just scored a completely rust and major dent free 68 clip for $300 so?? You are in MO so rust free may be harder to find?? I'd be inclined to offer $100-150 for the pair, but my inner me won't let me take advantage of someone?

John H. · 05-29-2009, 11:43 AM

I just bought 2 rust free here in WA for $70. I felt I could not ask him to go lower than his asking price. Craigslist find.

I agree..

or offer a hundred dollar bill for the set... hard to turn that down he doesn't have a "need" for them...

andy applegate · 05-29-2009, 12:14 PM

give him $100 for the pair, then turn him in to the zoneing dept.. Just Kidding

C20-67_N_MO · 05-29-2009, 12:28 PM

I think it they are good condition $100 is a fair offer. But you may just want to see if he will shoot you a price first and go from there. Either way sounds like you found a good deal if it all works out.

Good Luck!

**fine69** · 05-29-2009, 12:41 PM

Never in my life have i offered more than $1 for something.

If they dont have a price in mind they they do not know what they are worth.

Offer a $1, then let them throw you a price.

Why waste your money.

I just sold a 75 Chevy Elcamino. Some cancer in the quarters.

Was listed for $1500 , i would have taken $800

Guy asked what bottom dollar was. I said, MAKE AN OFFER.

He did $1300!!!!!!!!! I hesitated for a second, then said, ah Ok.

LOWBALL, you might get it.

If you offer more they might laugh when your gone.

I did when that dude drove off giving me $500 more than i had to have.

Why spend the money if you dont have to?

PanelDeland · 05-29-2009, 04:52 PM

$50.00 for the pair.That's $50.00 more than he's got with them sitting under the carport.

chevychase · 05-29-2009, 06:19 PM

WOW, rough crowd here!

I agree with everybody else here, start super low like they're nothing special.

big mike71 · 05-29-2009, 06:47 PM

I would just ask if you can have them and see what he says.
