Has anyone else noticed that used aftermarket parts availabilty has gone up quite a bit? And has anyone noticed that parts sales seem to be way off?

I see longtube headers for sale and there are zero replies. OF course, in many cases, owners are asking 80-90% of retail. They must be smoking crack.

Camshafts and heads are in abundant supply ... but again, way over priced for used parts.

It appears that the mod market might be drying up a tad for this platform. Stands to reason ... it's been out of production for 2 1/2 years. I just find it interesting that parts are becoming more abundant, both retail and used, yet the costs are not coming down.

Going back to Mitch's original statement regarding used parts for sale, I think some times people can get a little too "proud" of their stuff, and of course, are trying to sell it for as much as they can. No fault in that - that's typical Business 101. However, if the market doesn't bear the price, then the price must come to the market - supply vs demand.

I really don't try to give away my used stuff when I sell it, but when I sell it, I want it GONE. It's no longer of any use to me. When I go to the swap meets, I really have to laugh some times at the prices people are asking. I will take a JEGS or Summit catalog along just to compare prices, and show them what I could buy the same thing for at a new price vs the "used" price.

Car parts just aren't going to appreciate, in the big scheme of things. Only the truly rare and unique parts will hold a certain value. I'm still kicking myself for not picking up a Smokey Yunick single four-barrel cross-ram intake (essentially a single carb top to the 68-69 Z cross-ram manifold) several years back for $80...
