Default Rare premium parts/accessories and demand.

I regularly browse the parts for sale section and have done for about 3yrs or so now.

Just a personal observation and wondered if others had noticed that what I call premium parts (and accessories), especially those not essential to the running of the car simply don't seem to sell now like they did 18/24 months ago.

A prime example is over there now, Rik-Sta has a gorgeous set of Red Monaco seats for sale for £180 in very good condition with little wear, and to me, a bargain.

They've been on since the 23rd August and yesterday were were bumped with "any offers".

I'm sure, 18/24 months ago, they would have been snapped up within minutes of going on.

A guy near me on FB market had an immaculate summit rear seat for £20, it was then free to anyone to take away, then if not gone in a week, its off to the tip.

Drivers side cup holders seem the same
