Title: Some items for sale, where is best to sell them
Post by: Ironingboard on 20 July 2018, 15:50:29: Hi,

Looking for some advice in selling some old Omega B bits. I had a Omega B some years ago and collected a box of bits I never got around to fitting and then remembered this forum. I would list the bits on the forum but I don't have a high enough post count to list them. Is there another place on Facebook or somewhere I can list them, other than individually on eBay..... don't trust ebay now as a seller so would like to avoid. Any help would be appreciated.

Post by: Ironingboard on 20 July 2018, 16:04:58: Yeah good point. I was actually reminising about my old Omega a couple of days ago and thinking about all the options it had compared to my current car. It was an Elite, had the works :'(

Yeah I do miss my Omega but had an issue with the HG leaking at the side of the head, changed one bank (3.0) and then the other side started leaking. Heard a batch of 3.0 engines had dodgy HGs according to VX. Looks like I had one of them.

But agree they were a great car. Had air suspension, xenon headlights and my party piece was the pop up blind.

Post by: Ironingboard on 22 July 2018, 21:40:55: How available are Omega parts these days I guess some are no longer available. Can you still get the suspension wishbones and are they still around 150 a side?

yes , quite cheap
do you want to know how much ;D
Title: Re: Some items for sale, where is best to sell them
Post by: Ironingboard on 22 July 2018, 22:03:29: Yeah, I remember you used to be able to get them with a good discount with the trade card and then they were suddenly removed and hence became scary expensive. So how much are they now since 10 years as past?

That was 2009.

I like the (alleged) RRP price on that link. Now that is a saving. ;)
