how much can I sell these performance parts for???
-engine with almost 90K, polished intake manifold, polished thermostat housing, smokes in the morning, ran 12.78 on street tires so it still pulls hard and idles fine
-non-sequential turbos, ported the exhaust side, gets full boost at 4Krpm's, 30K miles old, no shaft play
-tranny with almost 90K miles, shifts really good, no grinding
-Apex Power FC with commander
-custom made FMIC, core size is 20x10x2.75 looks very simular to rx7fashion's kit
-HKS DP
-ACT street clutch with less than 5K miles on it
-9.5# flywheel with counter weight, less than 5K miles
-Apex BOV kit, 2K miles old
-Greddy pop off valve, never installed
-stock sequential turbos with almost 90K miles, still boost very strong, no shaft play, ported the exhaust side
I'm going to post all these parts for sale but want to know what would be a fair price for the buyer and me
Don't ask why I'm selling these parts if you can't handle the answer
thanks for any info

Hahaha ... I just wish I wouldn't make so many typos on this board. It happens to me a lot here and I don't know why!

RedTT, I am also non-seq and have been thinking about getting a PowerFC (with commander).
I'm curious to why your selling all this stuff (I'm not against dropping a V8 in there...I live close to Jim and his car is going to be a monster when it's done).
How much do you want for your PowerFC and what type of setup does it currently have?
Good luck with whatever you are planning to do. :)

You won't get much at all. Generally mods devalue about 80% - if you put in $10,000 expect to get about $2000 out of it when you go to sell. This is the reason I do not ever mod cars anymore ( I spent $8000 in mods and got about $1500 for the lot of them on an Eclipse).
It may be sad, it may be dissapointing, but modding a car is one of the WORST financial decisions you can ever make. Not many people want "used" mods unless they are about 1/3 the price of a new part. After all, if I put on some used crap, and blow my engine, have I really saved that much?
Most people also don't want a "set" of mods - they want to build the parts themselves. It makes the car feel theirs. That's fine with me, but realize very few folks will pay you what your set is worth - they'll want different parts, polished this instead of that, whatever.
So. Don't expect much. I wish you luck anyway, despite the odds
