Trading in? Parcel Shelf donations wanted

If you're a Model S owner about to trade in your Model S on a new P85D, 70D etc. have you thought about your parcel shelf?

For many the parcel shelf wasn't free, it was a $250 upgrade which seemed a lot for what it did.

When your trade in is valued you will most likely not receive any extra money for the fact that you have a parcel shelf (I have yet to find any evidence that they credit you for it).

Why not sell it or charge a nominal rate to cover shipping etc to an existing owner?

You could either:
a) Make a few extra $ on your trade
OR
b) Make an owner without the parcel shelf very happy to get a bargain.

One method is Ebay of course. Another is by having people who are interested in getting one posting here and then doing a direct message to them if you have one to unload prior to the trade in.

Consider me interested but only if its basically just shipping.
 
I really hope you don't work in advertising.

Nope, just an engineer. Why?

I have one parcel shelf which I purchased for the car I traded in. I also have a frunk all weather matt and rear shade for sale.
let me know if any one is interested. I have listed all 3 items on eBay.

Are what I was hoping to avoid.

I was talking about owners basically throwing away parcel shelves with a trade in and willing to help out an existing owner with a bargain.

This is why its not on the marketplace forum (thanks @Trnsl8r for your sarcastic post) but here trying to catch people as they do trade-ins and are essentially getting nothing in return for parts they could take out before trading.
 
I'm supportive of this thread. I have a parcel shelf that is still in the box, never opened, only because it didn't exactly work with the rear facing seats. I thought I would be folding up those seats more than I did and that the shelf would be valuable to keep prying eyes out. As it turns out, tinting has been very effective.
 
When I got a trade-in quote, I'm pretty sure they asked about parcel shelf, which means they're offering something for it. Any other aftermarket stuff, you're right.. they're not going to give you anything for it.

As a side note, I really noticed the lack of heat-blocking tint on the windows and the presence of such on the pano roof. OMG I can't wait to get the car properly tinted because it is a stark difference!
