So, everything is pretty much in perfect shape (except for dirt and grease that can be wiped off, and tiny dings on air intake) except for the Unorthodox Racing Pulley. It's damaged on the sides, I've shown the worst part of it in the pics. Someone who knows more about them can decide if it will still work. Mechanic said it would, but I'm not so sure he knows what he's talking about.

There are no headers for sale. As I made clear from the start, someone local would have been welcome to pull them from the car, but it's too late now. It's now the property of the insurance company (Geico) . Sorry!!

numairrr, I'll take the Eibach sway bars. I'm in the Dallas area so we can just meet up locally and you won't have to ship. I sent you a PM with my phone number. Let me know. Thanks.

I already discussed shipping with him weeks ago.
I'd be worried about that pulley shredding belts. but someone could probably have it fixed cheap.

^ Shredding belts could also be an issue.
My main concern was the balance. The pulleys are machined and balanced. Any damage can throw them off balance and cause internal damage to the crank and seals.
And yes I really hope numairrr goes by the line. I still don't understand why people come in here thinking they can get what they want easily.
The OP never said local priority.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to jump the line or anything. A lot of people find it easier to sell locally and not deal with shipping and PayPal, especially with items that are kind of big. If he is willing to ship, I am definitely not first. I'm sorry if it seemed as if I was trying to get my way and ignore everyone else.

Sorry guys, I am going to go by the book and those who messaged/posted first will be given first dibs. It's most fair that way. Thanks for understanding!
Am setting up paypal, and will be pm'ing y'all shortly.

The headers are gone with the car so no one gets those unfortunately.
numairrr, you have the front and rear sway correct? Either way, I want whatever you have to sell.

Hi all, I have a question. Do Acurazine rules allow one to raise prices?
The problem is that it cost me more than I thought to have a mechanic pull the parts. Also, the pulley is damaged, leavng me with 4 items for sale: Neuspeed Strut Bar, Eibach rear Sway Bar, P2R Thermal Body Spacer, and the Weapon R Secret Weapon Air Intake. I was thinking of raising the price for each item by $10 (except for the rear sway bar, which is now $60+ shipping). Earlier, I had wanted someone local to pull it out.
I've set up a Paypal account, and it looks like I will have to pay them fees too?
At the current prices, I'm hardly going to cover my expenses, and considering the time it's taken me to do all this, I'm kinda feeling like this is not worth it. As is, it looks like I will be left with $30-$40 in hand for all the trouble.
I've set up a Paypal account, and it looks like I will have to pay them fees too?
Please let me know what you guys think.
I'm still selling everything for about half the price I paid for them 5 months ago...

My friend, it was quite presumptive of you to plan a trip to Dallas for my headers, without consulting me. I really made it very clear from the original post (and in the numerous responses I made) that I was not going to pull them out and that someone local could do it. Example:
"I don't think I will be getting the sway bars or headers out. If someone local wants to get at them, that will be fine by me."
If this interested you, we would have had to set a date and time long ago.
Sorry if you were planning things without confirming with me first.

Numairrr: With a good reason, which I think you have, it would be ok to raise prices in this situation.
I thought about asking if you want to start a new thread, but with all the dibs and information here that might not be a good idea.
If you want to, post the remaining items with the new prices and I'll do something with them (have to see what you post before I can decide what to do).

Well if i may say so, I would just like to add that while I respect that I am NOT next in line for the dibs on the rear sway bar, I just want to note that I am still interested despite the impending price hike.

NEW PRICES (thanks RON A):
1) Weapon-R Air Inake - $45 + shipping
2) P2R Spacer - $70 (chrome, 4 months old) + shipping.
3) NeuSpeed Strut Bar (silver/chrome) - $55 + shipping.
4) Eibach Sway Bar (only Rear, the one that matters!) - $60 + shipping.
I think these prices are still very fair. I paid more than double for all these items a few months back, and the car was lying unused for three months due to transmission problems. Thanks.

For an extra $5, I will throw in an extra piece I got from Autozone for about $15 (brand new, never got a chance to put it in, receipt in hand). This will let you seat the air intake deeper inside the pocket you get when you remove the front intake resonator box. Trust me, this is really worth it. Immedate gains, without the water risks associated with CAIs. The Weapon R-Intake, with the resonator box removed to create a pocket of air, was my absolute favorite mod, worth every penny!!

Okay, I would prefer a buyer who's interested in both the Weapon R Intake and the spacer shipped together, or a local buyer. Get in touch!!

Very interested in the Weapon-R Intake....Is it spoken for yet? Saw that you said people had asked you about it, but didn't see any dibs taken on this thread yet. Dibs on it if it hasn't been spoken for already I guess lol.
