Not sure where this post should go so I picked this section of forum. I've got a bunch of parts that came with my car. I don't need them and would like to turn them into some spare change for future purchases. Problem is I don't know what the going rate for some of the stuff is or if it even has any value at all. I'd rather unload all the stuff to members here but just want a fair price. Can anyone give me some input to the desirability and/or value of the following parts? Car had 70,000 miles when these suspension components were removed about 7 years ago.

2 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires - used on the track but still have some life left in them.
Complete OEM exhaust in good shape.
2 complete sets of sway bars. (2 fronts, 2 rears). Car was switched over the M030 sways. Pretty sure these are base suspension sway bars.
OEM stock front and rear stuts/shocks
Lower control arms- I was told these were worth good money?
Rear seats and all belts - 1994.5 style black partial leather. All in really good shape with all seat belts associated with it. Good for a cabriolet owner I would guess?
Rear floor mats
Tool kit
cargo cover

Soon to be available 17" C2 Turbo wheels (when I get my new wheels from the powder coater)

For you 944 Owners, here's an interesting box of parts that I have along with a story... A buddy of mine who owned a 1987 944 Turbo bought a complete rear brake "kit" from 944online. Consisted of Cross Drilled Zimmerman rotors, PBR pads, caliper clips and e-brake pads. The car caught fire and burned to the ground about a week after he ordered these parts. Been sitting in his basement since. When I bought the 968 he gave me the brand new box o' parts and said maybe they fit your car. Besides the e-brake shoes I don't think the parts will fit a 968. So unless someone here tells me otherwise I'd like to get rid of brand new pads, rotors and hardware for a 1987 951.

Is any of this stuff desirable? What are these items worth? Should I eBay it or post it all here first? Anyone's experience/input on selling used 968 parts would be appreciated.

-Tom

out side of the rims, cargo cover and perhaps tool kit, I'm guessing you'll have a hard time unloading that stuff.
Orig Exhaust and suspension aren't very desirable. The majority are going after market for improved performance. Rear floor mats dont get used. So I'm guessing everyone's look pretty good. I'm not saying to just throw the stuff away. I just feel that there's a very very small market for it.
