Used JB4 high price?

Viktimize · 10-06-2013, 12:16 AM

What's the deal with the ridiculous asking prices of used JB4's? Are people actually buying used units just to save a measely 20$?? Or should I be low balling the crap out of people on Kijiji/Craigslist? I can't see myself spending more than 300-350$ tops.

More as in what?? Everything I've seen listed was a JB4 with G5 board. I just bought one today, guy had it listed for 480$, I threw him an offer of 350$ since they are 480$ brand new, and he accepted the offer right away.

Isn't low balling how craigslist works?

Probably because if he put it on Craigslist for $350, people would be offering him $220.

Honestly, I understand the OP's points... Things lose value and a JB4 is one especially when people hack apart the harnesses and etc. It's a harness not a Cobb or Tablet, it should lose more value. Why would one buy a JB4 for $400-450 when they go brand new for $480 without a coupon...

Did you read the original post? I wasn't complaining, I was asking if this is what people are actually paying for these things. I feel like a real asshole to lowball people, so I didn't want to until I heard if it was actually acceptable to others to pay virtually brand new price for a used unit. I sell a lot of stuff on Kijiji, and it's guaranteed I will get a bunch of people email me saying "Hey, I can get this same thing somewhere else for half the money". I want to punch those people in the nuts, if you found such a smoking deal then go buy it. What are you wasting my time for?

I suppose. But on the other hand, how many people who aren't complete dicks just scroll right by and not bother offering since the price is so out to lunch?

Anyway, I guess I got my answer on my own since nobody else has much insight. Anyone else looking for a JB4, just lowball on them

Im with ya, 400 for a used jb4 with the usb cable i feel should be worth about 300. Which is a "lowball" offer that i just through out to someone selling one right now and was turned down without even a meet in the middle or anything.. I personally would (am) spend the extra 100 for a new one with the used onesisted at this price.

suprchrgd · 10-08-2013, 07:29 AM

But, as long as there is someone willing to pay almost new prices for a used unit, can't blame the seller one bit...

A418t81 · 10-08-2013, 08:51 AM

With as many potentially very expensive repairs that can pop up once you start modifying 335s, if you are complaining about $100, you should leave your car stock. The JB4s have great resale because they work well and they are in demand. It is as simple as that.

Hence my question. Did anyone actually read the OP?? It really seems like no.

Jnat · 10-08-2013, 06:13 PM

I think that's a reasonable used price, 300-350 that is!

jlcf22 · 10-08-2013, 06:20 PM

used jb4 g5 with usb 375.00 shipped should be reasonable
