Bellett parts on eBay
Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2012 11:52 pm
Ok guys here's something interesting.
A few weeks ago, a guy emailed my mate Craig Fordham; he's the guy with the 1960s Colts who came to the Adelaide Bellett Nationals in 2009.
The guy found Craig online and offered him a cache of NOS parts "make an offer".
Craig offered him $300.00 for the lot and then didn't hear back. Next thing, they were on ebay and sold for about $375 (not to Craig, unfortunately). There was good stuff there; parts, lenses, badges.
Anyway, in his original email, he told Craig he had EVEN MORE Bellett stuff so Craig forwarded his email to me with his approval.
So I emailed him and asked what he wanted for the Bellett parts. No answer.
I emailed him again. No answer.
Like, not even a cursory "I'm going to put them on eBay".
Anyway, that's what he's done. The first lot went up in the last few hours:
All parts are N.O.S.
Washer switch:

Bumper over-rider:

Florian headlight glass (looks to be an early, non-pointy one)"

Bellett GT-S badge... which I don't think is from a Bellett at all...

Oil cap:

What I propose is this; don't fight with each other on these. The guy obviously wants to maximise his sales, but given that we're all friendly with each other here, it stands to reason that there's no point inflating his gains and paying too much for stuff.
Obviously I'm dark I didn't get it as a job lot but this isn't about revenge. Ok maybe a little bit, but either way he's going to get more for the parts overall than I was going to be able to afford.
It's up to you guys, but I would recommend that if you fling a bid on this stuff, mention it here. Then it will be up to others if they want to bid against you or let it slide.
If you don't put it here, then people are going to bid against you... and you may pay more.
Not every Bellett enthusiast is on this site, but a lot are, so we will see how this goes.
Cheers,
Dave
