Hey ppls.
I have a bit of a rant to have, so bare with me.
What is it with people always trying to get things for well below the resonable price or worth of the item.
Case 1.
2nd Hand parts in the forums.
Somebody is selling something, let's say a turbo off an RB25DET which can be fitted to an RB20DET which will give a pretty resonable power gain.
Seller is asking the resonable price of $500 for the turbo.
People then start bombarding the seller with ridiculous offers of around $150.
Then when the seller tells them that the price is far too low for that item, they leave some smart arse post and tell the seller he's dreaming.
IT P1SSES ME OFF.
Somebody is selling something for a price. Either pay that price or don't try to buy it.
Because I bet your arse when the people who offer the stupid prices sell stuff, they sure as hell don't accept super low prices for the goods they are selling.
Case 2.
2nd hand modified cars for sale.
Somebody is selling a car, much like Leewah potential 9 second GTR.
He's selling it for a price. This price is pretty damn resonable for a car of it's speed, quality and the amount of top shelf parts and labour that has been put into it. People will offer prices that wont even pay for the parts which have been added to the thing.
Try building the same thing for anything less.
IT P1SSES ME OFF.
Either buy the car or don't make idiots of yourself in offering stupid money.
If these people selling things has wanted to have their parts bidded for, they would have put them on EBAY!
This sort of thing is what is bringing the prices of our cars and our parts down.
This sort of thing has been bugging me for a while. I don't know what it is with people who think that everything is up for bargin. When somebody puts up a price, that's the damn price.
I'm sure I'm going to add to this thread as some stage, so let's hear from sellers and buyers about their experience and attitudes towards this sort of thing.
Oh, and just so you know.
When I'm selling stuff... The price I put on the item, it the only price I will expect or accept for that item.
END Rant.
BASS OUT
