Too many stock parts in my garage

Currently my latest pile of stock parts are still sitting at the shop . I look at my garage and the thought of taking more home does not sound exciting . Part of me wants to sell them but I know I can't get what i paid for them so I think of keeping them . I am not really sure what to do. Suggestions would help.

One person did ask me awhile back if I's sell the Tubi exhaust and I said no but maybe I should . I would give him priority of course .

The most attractive parts are the Tubi exahust and Techart springs . If this sounds interesting to anyone let me know . I still may keep them but part of me feels that if someone here would be happy with them it makes no sense for me to keep them .

Sell them. The real estate in your garage is worth more than the difference of the cost and what you sell for.

Got Boost - Obviously the easiest thing is a local 6speeder wanting the spings and the Exhaust where he simply goes to the shop and talks to them about install .

I'll shoot you a PM and see if we can both feel OK with price.

I believe it's best to sell "mods" and keep the stock parts so you can return to stock when it's time to move on.

I still have my stock 997S parts too . It's unreal how these things pile up and I think this last set was the final straw .

I hear ya . I don't know what's more of a pain a) letting them pile up or b) selling them . I don't see much financial gain in losing both the part and half its value if sold . I guess that's why I thought of keeping them because at least I would have the part .

Obviously the best thing is a local person either picking them up or installing them at the shop . I just can't see them collecting dust either .

Ehh -well see .
