What's a fare price

Only the buyer and seller can answer this question. So why you bugging us about it?

Of course not and that is not a fair or even a fare question.

It just comes with untorqued bolts.

catch up,, that has been proven wrong. the bolts that failed have been Rockwell hardness tested at #18 and 20 on the Rockwell scale. grade 5 bolts test at 25-28 on that scale.

If the buyer didn't get that information before putting up his cash, he was naive. I'm guessing he asked and you politely provided the info, as opposed to trolling him.

There was no troll, he knew what the Ad said, and what it meant.
You see he knew what it was worth.

Not without details, he didn't. Did your ad provide details or not? It isn't a difficult question.

read post #1 is it so difficult to know what those parts are worth?

I wasn't quibbling, I was simply observing the painfully obvious deficiencies in your description of the box of parts you have that may or may not be enough to build a serviceable engine. You asked, don't complain when people answer. And yes, for the record I did indeed read your original post. It was lacking a lot of information, or did I already mention that?

Glad you found someone to unload it on.

Actually the buyer knew he could have a 0 since major engine in less than a week, for a lot less than anywhere else.
all the wait times to get machining done was already done .
and he gets to keep his core.

you do realize you can't buy a crank for that?'

16.9K from "Signature"

Yes. Individual parts are alway more expensive than the final assembly. I assume you are looking at it as a kit for someone to assemble. That has to come at a sufficient discount or nobody is going to bite. You can get an assembled experimental O-200 for under 10k.

The price you can get depends on your customer. If Joe Pilot is assembling the engine, then what he gets at the end is not a certified engine, aka, not a 16.9k engine. If you are selling to an A&P, why are you asking us for prices?
 
I could do it in eight hours (based solely on my experience with four-stroke, air-cooled engines in motorcycles, and VW and Corvair engines, and helping out on my O-300 overhaul), so $1,200 labor plus "shop supplies".
 
I still don’t know what tom thinks is a fare price for his parts.....

Please show me a 0 since major rebuilt 0-200 for under 10K. his was no EXP engine, cranks alone are $6k, cylinders are $1070.00

That's a good question. I must have been crazy to think I'd get an answer here.

Well... at least one you'd agree with. :) Don't come here to have people tell you what you want to hear, Tom. You should know that by now.

What I wanted to hear was a price, see one?

40 hours to assemble an engine?

Yeah, I changed the blocks on three Chevy small block engines, including R&R from the boats they were in (new boats, failed to winterize, cracked the blocks!) in a regular 40-hour week, without any rush (but with beer, it was allowed back then.)

But you didn't include enough information to even give an estimate. The details that were conspicuously absent would give an extremely wide range of potential values. If all I had to go on was the information you posted, I'd have offered maybe $5K at the very most. Without knowing where the parts fall in the spectrum spanning "barely serviceable" to "new or like new", it's impossible to say what they're worth.

Just ONE little example. You pointed out that cylinders are $1070. Yes, NEW cylinders are. You never have said whether the cylinders you had were new, used, repaired, etc. That kind of thing makes a difference, you know. Ditto the crank. A NEW crank might be worth $6K. A crank that's at the limit and can't be ground again for the next overhaul? Not so much, right?

Your box of parts may have been worth a lot. It may have been worth a lot less. We don't know. You asked a question, never did provide enough information to answer your question, and then griped when people pointed that out. But now you know what ONE person would pay for it, so I guess you have your answer.

I have 2011 Ford F150 for sale. What's it worth?

:rolleyes:
 
TROLL

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Spelling counts. Doesn't matter what substandard teachers may have told poor students in the past, spelling counts.
 
Tom, just post the effin' price the engine sold for, will ya?

No right now you have a very difficult finding a used one that will pass inspection and then it requires a regrind.
