Thought I would start this thread up as I am becoming increasingly annoyed with how people shop around forums.

It happens pretty much everywhere and its bad enough it happens just putting anything for sale on gumtree.

I think it would just make it a bit nicer for sellers and buyers if this thread exists, so people read it and change how they shop a bit.

Feel Free to add your frustrations.

EXAMPLES OF JERKS/TYREKICKERS

BUYER

1. If you actually want to buy something, only PM/MESSAGE/PHONE someone if you're 100% commited on purchasing a part.

(unless its a question). I am sick to death of people saying "yeh no worries I will come and collect Tuesday night" and you never hear from them again.

2. If you tell a seller you are going to be at their house at such a time.. BE ON TIME! Why should they waste their afternoon/morning?

3. If someone is selling something at an already cheap price, dont lowball the f**k out of them just because YOU dont have any money.

4. If you tell a seller you're going to show up at such a time and you are unable to make it, at least advise the seller. Dont just message them 3 days later.

5. READ. Make sure before you PM someone your question, it has not already been answered within the thread.

SELLERS

1. Post a sentence that makes sense, thats not in caps and use comma's and full stops.

2. Post prices

3. Dont post a price of $100, receive lots of interest and decide to put it up. Low act.

thats as much as I can think of atm.

Its pretty simple stuff really.

Whats wrong with looking at something first, I like to see, touch feel something before I buy.. Looking and then making a choice whether or not to buy is not time wasting.

Agree on I hate having dream boats agree there going to come over then dont show. That's why you never give out your address until there leaving there house to come see you. I find that helps with the shit kickers.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
