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?

Sadly I guess that means I'm also going to be stuck with my Camaro too. I had pretty well decided to part it out and get rid of it, dump the truck and find a fun driver that burns less fuel. However, if nobody's spending money that isn't much of an option right now. I suddenly have this itch to downsize and simplify things (I wish I could unload this house too).

And in a year or less you'll be right back into it with another project car wishing you hadn't sold the one you have now. Just a prediction.


Locally used car prices seem through the roof-trucks especially. Used trucks seem to have skyrocketed since a year ago at least locally. F-bodies are worth just about nothing however. A local picked up an '01 SS in decent condition for $5500. LT1's aren't worth much which is why I haven't parted with mine.
