Default 993TT bumper...pricing advice

I have a black 993TT front bumper that I'd like to sell. Not sure what is a fair price; any suggestions? The bumper is solid, no cracks but scraped on the bottom. For sure will need to be properly prepped, sanded, primed and painted. Once I come up with a fair price, I will re-post in the classified section. Also, the bumper is in the Denver area at a Porsche independent shop. It could be picked up or shipped from there. Thanks.

I pay $450 for one last year with all the grills and lights. It was local pickup.

Really? Why don't you price it at $600 like the one listed on Pelican the day before you listed this one here. From the Pelican ad:

FS: 993TT Front Bumper

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selling a front bumper from a 993TT. Color is black. Will have to be prepped, sanded, primed and repainted. More pictures available. Bumper is in Arvada, Colorado, near Denver. Prefer pick up but will consider shipping. Also may consider pickup from the NY/NJ area as a second option. $600. Please send pm for quickest

Oh wait - it's your listing of the same part - you don't seem to be too confused about the price there. And what's the deal - are you getting too lazy to have the parts shipped to you before you try and resell them - or is the profit margin too low to pay to have such a large piece shipped to you first before you try and resell it?

^Good catch, Steve. LOL.

I also find it interesting that Deadhead did not list this on the 993 Turbo Forum. He's not too respected over there.

You keep stepping on your dick, dude. Give it a break.

When I upgraded to the Euro bumper, I sold mine to a local friend for $400.

It had nics in it where the front plate screws hit, but he needed to repaint it in the ugly/slower shade of silver.

I usually see these in their natural habitat - on the side of the freeway.
