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?

No one is spending money right now. I've been fixing up/selling beaters for the last 9 months for race money and even that's slow. People are holding on to what they have until it dies and then they want more money for it.

Last winter, I could buy broken cars all day long for $250-300, now the same cars are $400-600.

I think this is the real key... uncertain economy leads to uncertain jobs which leads to holding your money for the "just in case" fund....which in turns aids the uncertain economy.

Yea, I'm sure that's part of what's driving me to reorganize and quit dumping money in this project. I want to get back to dumping heavy money into my 401k and I currently have little interest in this albatross. So I was starting to sell off some of the parts that I had gathered up for "some day...when I get around to installing that" and other things I don't need. The last time I posted stuff for sale, most of it moved pretty quickly. Now it's "crickets", there's nobody even asking questions.

Maybe I should push it all outside and light it on fire. I'd probably still come out ahead in the long run (and I'd get my garage cleaned out which is one of my goals these days). (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)
