RARE GENUINE PARTS

[bab-91]

What should you be stockpiling....?

I'd only add:

13 button obcs'
period radios'
shagging blinds
recaro LSs'

Check, check, check and check

What about stuff that isn't practically popular at the moment?

BBS body kits and that sort of 80's wrongness!?

[Royalratch]

Lol.

Indigo mats for sure. I'm in the USA for work quite a bit dude but this time I'll have time to stockpile.

'Stockpiling' is going to be big in 2015.

I'm down to my last set of new bumper inserts - they're mad pricey now too.
Premium Rear Speakers.


I'm after an under engine bash guard thing. The proper metal item.

[Royalratch]

Oh, and worst "I am off to the US of A" thread ever.

Poser\\\

They have lots of shit. Tonnes.

Did you see the LSD I scored last time - it was like new and half the price of one here - if you can find one.

[Gert_8]

While the US has stacks of stuff, why are you stockpiling?

[Royalratch]

Cos the E30 got moved to Mobile Tradition in BMW parts programme a few years back, they're dying out quite quickly now and I need to be set.

Parts prices are getting silly.

There's some proper stockpiling deviants on here. Hoarding the most ridiculous stuff.

To make money

[Royalratch]

Stockpiling needs its own thread.

[pony]

BMW Mobile Tradition is now BMW Classic

[Topblag]

Some of my stockpile and fleet are investments, you don't much return from banks these days.

[Gert_8]

Yes, but you stupid coots are breaking the first rule of selling, and that is you fall in love with your stock. The only people I can think of that do not fall into that trap and Pete, topblag, b7, mick etc.

Pretty sure Barry has his on his Sport

I do! It's still on there and it's staying!

This is highly true lol.

[sindako]

I'm surprised Barry sold his - I think its one of the neatest styling touches for the E30. And 100% OEM!

I'm a displaced limey living in North Carolina, USA. Let me know if you want something and I'll try to help you out.

[bmwsport]

I've got a prefacelift hella heck blend in the loft, fortunately the mounting parts were missing so I never used it. I prefer the standard pre-facelift oem black plastic heck blend which I have on now, the reflective one is an acquired taste! It was I only approx 20 quid directly from the dealer a few years ago... bargain!

Anyone in their right mind with anything half decent would never disclose their inventory. Explains why the serious stockists have yet to come forward.

Why would you never disclose your inventory ? I'm curious as to your logic if you can indulge me.

There isn't any.

[Demlotcrew]

Anyone with an ounce of networking skills would have a queue of cash ready victims. I can only guess my idea of inventory doesnt fluctuate with the price of scrap.

Anyhooo, I just yawned so hard I almost turned inside out.

[Royalratch]

Not too bored to reply tho.

Topic's a light hearted casual look into the kinds of cool things E30 owners are hoarding.

I don't know why you're on about price fluctuations, victims and networking skills.

Maybe you simply misunderstood the thread.

Have a few more.

On that basis, I've dismissed your theory on not disclosing inventory.
