you know it.
As most of you know I do sell alot on here and have heard it all as far as people wanting things and I just must vent this..
Dibs explained...
Dibs doesn't mean...
1. Can you hold it till I get my tax return..
2. Can you hold it a few days while I think about it..
3. Can you hold it untill I sell my part..
4. Can you hold it untill I find out if it's what I want..
5. Can you hold it until my butt breaks..
6. Can you take $100.00 shipped for the part you want $150.00+shipping for ?
PM's are for that !!!
Dibs means..
1. How would you like your payment !
Prices..
This happens all the time !!
Boy I get the urge and catch myself wanting to say something like..
1. That part goes for $50.00 less
2. Hey I have been trying to sell that same part for a month for $100.00 less here look at my thread (link posted).. thinking I'm helping him but really it's a high jacking of a thread and a horrible thing to do !
Questions...
Questions can turn a whole "for sale thread" into a "repair manual/how to do that" thread and should be asked in the forum section..
example..
1. If I buy that what else will I need to do back flips ?" etc.
(note) Yes it is hard to say what a good qestion about a product is, but most everything has been covered (at least once) in the forum sections !
PLEASE search before you call DIBS or high jack a thread !!
Products..
This site as well as others has a product issue sometimes..
You and I have seen this a million times !!
example..
"X#1" part for sale... $200.00
1. Hold out and buy a "X#2" part, its by far the best and everyone says so !
"X#1" part breaks/leaks whatever.. But the truth is there are some very good parts that come very close to performing as well but come up a little short.. but is it $300.00 short ?
Not the point ! The point is "it's" someones elses part for sale and people are just repeating others and really have no clue or testing to back it up.. THE TRUTH IS... Proper set up/combinations with less "good" parts will do more than alot of best parts buying with no proper set up !!
A BIG note: We need to act like there is a company out there saying..
I will pay all your gas and rebuilds for the year or sure feel free to use my lake, hotel, beach, etc. but can I go to X-h2o to see what kind of people I'm thinking of backing up for a year !
