one, you gotta bump your **** more often. That listing was probably on page 20 by the time you did. most people skim through that section, they dont really search it.

Those are tough to sell. Better off parting **** out, you'll make way more money back.

no offense and not trying to kill your sale but your price is probably whats killing it the most. I know you have alot invested but you may be better off using it if you still can.

Just check out brand new kits from n2o outlet and HSW. You can get a complete plate kit with a controller for just over 500. It never seemed like the MAF kits were super popular even though I've heard they are great kits. But with the price of high quality kits coming down its killing the sale of high end used kits.

There are lots of nitrous kits in the classified right now if you do a search that haven't sold and some are priced in the 300 range.

with all the new affordable nitrous technology out, I think you may need to come down on price a bit. Plate or direct port setups are more desirable these days. Just my two cents...Imo normally your lucky to get 50% of what you got into anything thats used. I think 650.00 would get you more hits, good luck!

I told you 3 times since you have been selling it that I would just buy the Maf unit itself but you declined. You can sell the lines, solenoids and everything else and still make money. People make there own kits now a days!

Just a suggestion. Remove all the lines for the solenoids, neatly fold the wires together and zip tie them. Try to present all the parts in an organized fashion. Put them on a table or clean surface and take some good pictures. First impressions will make a sale. 750 dollars is a lot of money and it's much easier for a buyer to purchase something if it looks like it has been well taken care of.

it just like buying a car once you drive it off the lot it loses the value. Why would people buy second parts even if new for almost new prices when they can buy from the manufacturer and get support and maybe even a warrantee.

I know some companies offer support for their products no matter who owns them but alot of them dont if you're not the original owner.

i sold a $1200 NX kit last year on here. ended up getting $500 for it. $300 less than my start out price. This year has seemed to be bad for nitrous. AS i was shopping for another kit for the past few months, i noticed that there is not a single KIT selling for over $300. Even on Ebay they were averaging $250-$350. People just aren't willing to spend A Lot of money on Nitrous right now for some reason...... i think it's the Forced Induction Fad goin on right now. Even I ended up goin with a used kit off Tech for $200Like previous posters stated, part it out. that's the only way the Big High Dollar kits are makin any money. GOOD LUCK.

I'm looking for a 78mm plate! I might consider a MAF style, though.

I have a WTB Ad here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-wan...nos-plate.html
