I also sold 130 silver dimes for way under the price of silver by accident. Made up for it selling 74 silver quarters though.
Also this Civil War token:

When are you going to set your tinder age settings to 18-20 and start snorting cocaine before being arrested by the FBI?

Why sell it when you can give it to me

Because I need a set of headlights for a 2000 Volvo V70 Cross Country and Amazon doesn't take Marseybux.

Buying auto electricals on Amazon is how your engine bay catches on fire. Ask me how I know (and yes I did keep that car for over a year after and end up selling it to a tard who threatened me after lmao)

My Alfa 75 burnt itself to the ground using all factory components.
As for the headlights they're the most recommended/reputable brand. It's just that I get 5% back, reliable free shipping, and they're $40 cheaper on Amazon vs the usual Euro parts sites.
Keep in mind this is a car with a blue book value of $1800 and, being that it's a Canadian car less than 25 years old, I'm not even certain it's here legally. Not trying to throw good money at it, just trying to make it safe and spiff up the cosmetics a bit.

Are they broken or is it faulty electrical stuff?

The reflective coating on the inside has completely deteriorated and faded away so they shoot about a five foot beam. They're halogen reflectors with fluted lenses, so they didn't have much going for them to begin with.
Planning on just replacing them with another set of halogens though as I want to keep it period correct.

I also need a new rear driver's side door, a tailgate latch, an alignment and likely a control arm, some winter tires, and a bunch of other little things that go missing/wrong on a 170k mile, 23 year old car that, while it has been well-maintained, has not been enthusiast maintained.
I want to get it cleaned up and looking as close to showroom fresh as I can before my uncle, who gave it to me, dies.

There's a lot of truth behind that though. I've got a couple of photographs that are “worth” $8k and $19k, but I've been struggling to find a buyer for the past two years at a quarter of the price.

the problem is they offer $600 then sell it for $6,000
i understand they've gotta make money because buying and selling is their entire business but still

That's also true. In my small and short foray into selling odd collectibles though, I've really begun to appreciate the value in having the connections and ability to find and attract a buyer for such things.

i used to know a guy named craig who could find a buyer for literally anything! i don't know if he had some kind of list of buyers or something but you could sell anything through him.

I honestly am struggling trying to price it. I'm trigger shy after accidentally selling a few things too cheap and fast without doing enough research first.
I just haven't been able to find a similar Bible as ornate as this one online.

It's probably worth about 500 bucks, your best bet would be to contact some rare book shops in Chicago/Ann arbor and see if any of them are interested then just take the whatever they offer. Trying to sell it on your own will be a nightmare. At the end of the day after time invested you'd probably just be better or getting a job though.

Good thinking on the rare book shops. I've got it listed for $175 and would honestly be happy with that. Now I'm reconsidering.
I have a bunch of shit I still need to get done before I have time for a real job, so I've given myself a six month deadline to get stuff done. By that time it will be nice out and my old photography clients will have plenty of things for me to shoot anyways.

Yeah book seller is your best bet but be pretend to be laughed at, what about flipping the 911 for a highish mileage cayman then pocketing the profit, that'd probably net you like 15k while still getting basically the same drive.
Jump in the discussion.

My dad bought me the 911 and I'm too sentimentally attached to it to sell.
It also isn't running right now and needs about $2800 in parts that I need to remove the engine to change, so it's going to be an early spring project. It might even need more work, but those parts are just to rule out any cheap fixes.
If I end up needing to split the block and do a minor rebuild I'll have to just store it until I can raise the funds, as a non-running 996, no matter how minty, is worth a lot less than a high-mileage Cayman.
I also feel like that $15k difference would end up going into fixing things on the Cayman that the previous owner didn't disclose or neglected.
