The best thing to do is give it away to a fellow rotor head. This adds to the RX-7 karma, then the karma comes back to you. It's a great system.

I always go through the forum. People remember you that way, and if you need a part they will cut you a deal. Vice versa works as well.

Heres the problem with Craigslist -

There are a lot of scams and dead-beats.

People expect one HELL of a deal on CL and will "bargain" with you til you stop talking or they get their way.

At least on here, a fellow RX7 owner will get the part.

The sell time on both; about the same.

Sell it on the forum! Thats a hot item too, you should be able to get some coin for that, search the recent listing for that item and see what they go for, and start your price in that range

Dont fool yourself though, people on the forum will try to haggle ya down!!

5 dollar shipped!!! Bunch of tight wads lol

Ebay has high seller fees. Craigslist has to many people trying to trade you ****. And the forums has people that actually need/want the part.

you would make more money on ebay because you can be a used car salesmen, that doesnt work here cause we know our ****. however like they all said we are good buyers and the good rep will work for you later.

Yep I agree, go with the forum. And yes "I gave away stock wheels and snow tires" counts as rotary karma points!

I just got a GSL-SE for free from a soldiers wife on Fort Polk and she immediately won 5 million trillion dollars. That being said you should give the car to me. No, really though. If I were selling I would list high on ebay. If it doesn't sell then there is a minimal fee. If it does sell you make up for the selling fees by selling for higher. I would also list on the forum for a fair price in order to help out people here. I will probably do this with the free car I got once I get the title in my name.
