Used parts sky-rocketing? ie: Turbo 400 Kick Down Switch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**70cst** · 05-25-2021, 09:33 AM

I am looking at selling off some of my excess parts so... I am using ebay for reference ... are these Turbo 400 Kick Down Switches really going for $150-$300 each or... are thse flag pole prices. I havent sold a lot lately but are our truck parts starting to creep up? Maybe I am out of touch. Thanks

By the way ... the picture is for reference only.

You are correct. they sure are not going down. And that switch in particular is not easy to find

Misc engine and trim parts ... I need to get serious and get through the list.

I might have an extra nice used 70 front grille ... still undecided.

As said I need to go though my extra stuff but - I didnt realize prices have gone up so much.

I have one of those switches but not the corresponding piece on the carb linkage, so it is useless to me. I'm going to convert to cable and the switch under the dash

The prices are surprising me ... I have four of them ... One I will keep as a spare.

I can attest to the rising values ! Go to BAT if you needs examples. 40K for a Toyota Carolla ?

Are our parts starting to creep up? When have they ever not? When you go to sell a part you need to check to see what other examples are going for. Can't go by asking price, go by sold price

Supply and demand has always been truth. And now, new performance parts shortage is blamed on the covid.
