I was wondering what someone might pay for a used set of the placeracing mounts. Im talking to a guy that had them about a month ago and im trying to figure out if he still has them. If he does how much would i be able to sell them for? I think he also has a custom made shift linkage to go with it.

Well scratch that last post, i just got off the phone with the guy and he said he still has them, and he has a custom setup to run a hydralic tranny and a piece to convert it back to stock to use with a regular setup. He said that one of the bushings are a little worn and should be replaced soon but it never effected the car. He doesnt have the shift linkage anymore though. And he also has a custom wiring harness to convert from obd2 to obd1. He also has an exhaust and a C/F hood. He is sending me pics of everything he has later tonight.

My friend went to PIT for cad design and he actually had to design motor mounts for a project. I know he would be willing to try and duplicate them. If not ill look around and see what it will cost to have them done.

How much would people be willing to pay for copies?

There is talk about a set for sale right now, I forget which thread.. But the first bid was $500.

Personally I think thats pretty steep...Considering I can get a JDM Motor 'N' Tranny for like $1500-2000.

What would be an appropriate price? I was thinkin like $200-300???
If not, I'll weld up some of my own....

^^^ Lol... if they would sell for 2-300 they would be gone by now i'm sure. The market is there for those to pay 500 for the mounts. Go weld up your own if it's so easy.

Well im selling the originals, not enough demand for copies and people dont want to pay the price for them to be made. Im looking to get $500, i have had people interested and no one has come through with payment so the first one to send me a payment wil get them.

mounts with poly bushings. The axels are fairly easy peice together, legend master knows how to do it and he posted it somewhere. As far as the wiring harness goes, its like doing a obd1 swap.

To answer your questions Messy:

Mounts: Yes
Axels: No

$500 OBO for JUST the mounts.

Beware of the symptoms of 3g-itis..brokeness, unrealistic goals, relentless complaining, and ultimately the delay or total lack of progress..

3g-itis is also contagious, so watch out, people..

$500 for mounts isn't too bad, considering.

I must say I bought a set with axles and harness and wasnt sure what they would sell for. Seeing this makes me want to just modify them for my b20a and forget the value of a b series in an accord. I would hope mounts alone would fetch a few hundred but it looks like the market is dead currently

My thoughts exactly. I was going to have them reproduced and had everything setup. I figured that there would be a market for them since everyone complains about not having parts available, but then people started complaining about the price and having to do the other things like axels and wiring so i just dropped the whole thing. Well right now its wednesday, i have had a bunch of people message me about them but no one serious enough to buy them. Im giving it to friday before i start to look somewhere else to sell these. I want you guys to have the chance to get these first. Im looking for $500 shipped, if you have some other type of offer or trade let me know and maybe we can work something out.

This is a shame.. but i've said it before, that people bitch and complain and want these, but nobody is willing to produce the money when they are available. It's great that you put in the effort and were trying to get copies made, damn shame that there isn't a market for them.

Well i told you i would sell them to you first, so if you can come up with the money in the next day or so ill still sell them to you. But if you cant get the money soon, im going to have to sell them to someone else, i really need the money. I want to be as fair as possible and sell them to you, but you were supposed to buy them a few weeks ago. Just let me know when you will have the money ASAP.
