Is my carpet worth any money?

Default Is my carpet worth any money?

Last summer I had the tub of my Jeep line-x sprayed. I kept my carpet in case I thought I would use it again. Well, it has been a year and it is still in a huge bag in my basement. It is in like new condition, but is it worth any money?

Almost gauranteed NOT on this forum... most people who get rid of it do it for a reason.

I would think that YES it is worth something but the problem is going to be finding that customer (insurance claim or something). try placing some online ads with it. Maybe find an online parts site that would give you current pricing and then go from there.

I have wondered the same about the carpet and bumpers but who here wants OEM stuff like that?

Best of luck!

Hey you never know. Someone might have bedlined, ditched their carpet and regret it. Put it up for sale here and see what happens. No loss if nobody takes it.

I guess all I need to do now is get my 50 posts so I can list it. Thanks.

I would think someone would want it. Theres a price for everything.

I have been without carpet for about 10 months now and there's times I think it would be nice to have back in. However, the pro's of having the tub bedlined are far beyond the heat from the floor or noise no longer dampened.

I say post it up for $50 and go from there. Gotta be perfect though. If its shrunk, stained or ripped I'd be glad to give it away or toss it in the dump.

I would buy it if mine ever wore out. Mine gets some abuse but still looks good.

You are in a fairly populous area. I would throw it on Craig's List. I am always amazed at how fast I can get rid of my "junk" on that site.

X2..... There seems to be a market for EVERYTHING... Someone may just need to piece the carpet together do to their carpet getting F'd up. I'm sure someone can use a section or 2....
