I posted some various things online and on craigslist lately and marked everything "OBO". I've not had a bite on anything, not so much as a tire kicker. I've got hundreds of dollars in parts and stuff that seem like I couldn't give them away. Is this the norm right now?

I just don't want the hassle of trying to sell it, so i hold on to most of my stuff. I couldn't give away the 17x11's for the cost of shipping when time's were good.

It is for me - after 7yrs in business, Jul/Aug/Sep are the bottom 3 months for revenue - sucks that they are back to back to back. Things typically pick up for me in Oct/Nov.

My theory is that folks either have their cars dialed in for Nationals and have essentially stopped development, or are busted and broke and on hold till next season.
