I cant seam to sell my blazer guys is 2500 to much for it I know it needs rockers and a window frame but it runs good and has almost new tires and rims. What do you guys think am I asking to much for it.

slimone · 10-07-2005, 08:34 AM

Hi, had a 72 4x4 pickup once for sale was asking 1850 for it an could not sell it. My boss at the dealership I worked at said to ask more an it would sell . marked it up to 2500 an sold it the next day . maybe thats your problem ? good luck Slim

I think he is right. Maybe everyone thinks it needs a ton of work since it is so cheap!!

Price doesn't sound bad to me. Maybe the truck gods are telling you to keep it.

bouncytruck · 10-07-2005, 11:23 AM

I'd take some pics of it cleaned up so it doesn't look like it has been in the forest bouncing off trees. Then list it on Pirate4x4.com, coloradok5.com, craigslist.org (if applicable for your area) and any local nickel type papers.

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-07-2005, 07:39 PM

Hey Earl, take a Diecast collection as trade

I would be all over it if I wasn't married

RunTMCfan · 10-07-2005, 08:18 PM

I have had geat luck with collectorcartrader.com. I would take a photo with the top off and like some others said a good clean up would help too. Take the rope off the front. We all want a 4x4 that has never been 4x4'd.

Pricing does matter too.

earl87gta · 10-07-2005, 10:10 PM

I think its going on ebay tomarrow I removed the ford Retrieval tool from the front and took some new pics so there wasnt so much mud on it. Bad thing about my drive way I didnt have it paved or rocked yet when I took those pics so if you went down it after rain you looked like you have been playing in the mud.

4bynut · 10-08-2005, 01:35 AM

Hey Earl, I think the price is real good especially for the condition it's in. Up here people would be asking $3000 - $4000 just because it's a driver and the body look's really good. The other thing is it always seems like the interested buyers are half across the U.S. from the seller. I know if i had cash now and was closer i'd be interested. Well that's just my $.02. Jason

ian villeza · 10-08-2005, 03:08 AM

I think It will sell on Ebay, Start the bidding off at $3000.
I noticed all the 69-72 blazers on Ebay always have multiple Bids.
Pic's with the top off are cool, And the potential buyers can Imagine themselves cruising with the wind in their hair. I would advise you to just keep it, If not for you then your kids or a younger relative.

earl87gta · 10-08-2005, 11:19 AM

Im sell ing this one so I can do a burb project but I still have a 69 blazer that Ill finnish some day.

RunTMCfan · 10-08-2005, 12:50 PM

"Ford retreival too"...that's funny.

Rob

earl87gta · 10-08-2005, 10:39 PM

I use to have a tag on the front that said F-R-V ford retreival Vehicle I was always going to get personal tags with it onit but never did.

1Ton · 10-09-2005, 09:42 AM

Nice blazer. I agree with the other guys. Alot of people would love to have it. They are either too far away or just low on funds. Keep trying it will sell. I have a 78 3/4ton truck I am trying to sell and it seems noone has the money. Had a few even say I'll be back tomorrow with the money then no show. So it just takes time.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-09-2005, 11:07 AM

Earl sorry to see you sell the blazer price seems right to me but there is an azz for every seat.... Btw way I finally installed the lift I bought from ya looks great.. Do you remember who made the springs and how much lift it is??? Needs some bushings and better shocks..

meathead95 · 10-09-2005, 03:08 PM

i think gas is the problem right now. I have a 93 burb ill trade yah for it?

jakeslim · 10-09-2005, 03:42 PM

earl87gta · 10-09-2005, 07:35 PM

I cant remeber witch one you got I sold two lift kits one 4 and on 6

bouncytruck · 10-10-2005, 11:05 AM

Keep in mind, Blazers sell quicker and seem to be worth more in the spring & summer.

earl87gta · 10-10-2005, 12:51 PM

Ya I wish I didnt need the space but I need to down size some so I have room to work on all my projects.

qksilver · 10-14-2005, 10:32 PM
