I'm sitting on a couple things from the MB dealer because I know that returning them isn't worth jeopardizing my pricing with them because they know if they sell me something, they're never dealing with it again. I understand you may have X amount of money into this intake but it's perceived value is far lower than what you paid for it. I hate selling something knowing I didn't buy it right or I bought it right but didn't sell it at the right time and end up losing money on it but your first loss is your best loss and it's not going to go up in value sitting on a shelf. I have no need for one but even if I did, you're asking far more than the market bears. The other thing you have to ask yourself is what would something used be worth if it wasn't painted? This lowers the number of people in your audience as well. Your best bet if you're set on $400 is to offer the entire thing prepped, primed and painted the color of the buyers choosing. Someone might bite on it then. Not lambasting you by any means but you have to understand where we are coming from as well.
i understand and appreciate the advice. will consider removing the paint from the center piece its still silver underneath. as for the market, it took forever to find this setup hardley any for sale. to go to the dealer for some may yield a cut price but most folks on here stay as far away from the dealer as they can get.
its not fruit! it wont go bad. ill hold on to it until i get a decent offer. 400 is what i have in it less the shipping i paid. im willing to lose some but like the other poser oops i meant poster offering a comical price ill just keep it.

in refering to the dual cai many on here and other forums wanted the dual setup with the factory look. that was my comparison at 400 for this its half the price of the dual cai and close to the same price as a single cai with twice the looks
