over priced junk

[crackedback]

if you don't shop around and get stuck with garbage beef at a higher price then yes, you are an idiot.

Best way to combat overpriced items is not to buy them. Works like a charm unless someone else buys what you need and you can't find another.

Exactly...

There's plenty of stuff for sale on this board at at least 2X actual value. If you are dumb enough to buy it, because you are too lazy to look around, that's you're own fault.

Here's a good start to investigate parts pricing... http://tonysparts.com/

If the seller wants more than that guy who is one of the highest on the planet... RUN!!!

well, i do think the items i sell are very well priced., but, i also agree with one of the comments. if you do not like the prces, you should go out and find them yourself. buy a car and part it, alot of money has to go out to make even 300 or 500 or on some higher end models, you may make 2k on a car. but that is once in a while. most of the time it is a /6 car with some decent parts that you may make 150 bucks off the whole deal. and you have to be able to front the money for gas, car price, tow, until all the parts sell.

Trying to figure out the point of the original post to begin with.

If someone has something to sell and you don't like the price, move on....maybe having a small chuckle at their expense while doing so.

If they can sell it at that price, more power to them.

If not, they will either drop their price till it sells or sit on the parts forever.

Why :banghead: when its no big deal?

very well said

I feel I need to throw my 2 centavos's into this, both my experience and lessons learned:

1. I was ALWAYS taught, that a good deal is when two parties , one selling and one buying come together and mutually agree on a price where BOTH are satisfied. IT does not matter WHAT that price is, it matters that both are satisfied and you will notice that does not include ANYONE else!

2. WHEN YOU are selling something it is GOLD and Others say it is JUNK,and you are a cheap bastard if you make any comments to the contrary

3. When OTHERS are selling something IT IS NOW GOLD and you are a cheap bastard if you make any comments to the contrary.

4. LESSON of 2 & 3 if you like the part, negotiate if you reach an agreement it is a good deal, if not say THANKS and move on! NO ONE is either CHEAP OR a BASTARD JUST BECAUSE THEY DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU!

5. IT is the SELLERS JOB to ask as much as he feels his goods are worth, it is the BUYERS JOB to negotiate with the seller, what he is willing to PAY! IF negotiations fail, there are other sellers and other buyers, REMEMBER it is the sellers right to ask what he wants and it is the buyers right to agree or refuse to pay. Simple as that.

6. ONE MANS TRASH is ANOTHER MANS TREASURE : meaning SOMEONE thinks what they bought is well worth what they paid, WHO are you to comment to the contrary? You're not even INVOLVED in the transaction!!

7. FREE ENTERPRISE is and always has been driven by supply & demand, NOT BY OPINION!

8. WANT & NEED go hand in hand with supply & demand, Chrysler has pretty much always been the NUMBER 3 automaker in the US. HENCE ANY Chrysler made part or car is far rare-er than the other two combined and consequently COSTS MORE across the board!

9. FORD & CHEVY parts can be had for peanuts, Chrysler made parts are far more rare and cost 3x as much! EVERYONE WHO OWNS A CHRYSLER PRODUCT KNOWS THIS! DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU WOULD GET THEM FOR FREE? OR FOR LESS THAN THE COMPARABLE FOR OR CHEVY PART? if the answer is yes, then you will spend the rest of your project and the rest of your ownership of your Chrysler product, a disappointed person.

10. I have built a number of project cars (30+) I have therefore bought a truckload or two of parts. Whenever I think that I have spent too much and I grumble about the seller asking too much....I REMEMBER..... that I needed that part and NO ONE HELD ME DOWN AND FORCED ME TO BUY IT! I reached into my OWN pocket and paid for the part!! SO I HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT ME!


MORAL of my TOP TEN: I have been around here for about 6 years. I have seen lots of sellers & buyers. I have seen parts change hands without a penny being exchanged. I have seen things to the contrary. If I offer a part to my FABO family first, and get NOTHING but slams, I sell it elsewhere. Conversely, I have sold parts here that weren't even listed for pretty close to my asking price, which both parties agreed was "reasonable" and "fair."
POINT BEING: if ya like it buy it, if ya don't like it DON'T BUY IT and STFU about it! WHY SLAM another member just because he is selling for 10 and you ONLY have 5!! QUIT acting like a little kid and devote that energy to making another 5 so you can get what you need! OR put the 5 down and say you'll be back in a certain agreed time with the other 5!! NEGOTIATIONS MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND...........BITCHING JUST MAKES IT NOISY !!!

GREAT post.

 

[1968FormulaS340]

Some stuff sells, other stuff sits.

The reason should be obvious. I don't care either way because I only buy at a reasonable price.

Like when I got the sweet deal on the 68 dart wheel covers from a member on here.

Ok over priced junk ive been on this site for over a year now :blob:
rotest:Now ive ive been looking at the for sale stuff and theres a alot of guys on there that ask whats right ...... but others have like 50 posts for parts and they bump and bump but there asking 2 times what the next guy wants :banghead:](*,)
i know im going to buy from the cheaper guy how bout u ? now im not saying any names or trying to make a place that a call out of the dum dums that over price the stuff :violent1:

Is there somethin in particular you need? If I have it and I ain't usin it, I will do you right on it.

 

[demon700]

Everyone is at their own degree of stupid ?

I like this line....it just fits
I would agree with most on here, If I can wait for something to roll around at a better price I will, if i feel i need it right away, I tend to pay more for it. Anyone I have bought used parts off has been for the most part very reasonable, and I have had to say thankyou and walk away, but neither party had hard feelings about it

WELL...I feel kinda honored that you admire me such that you watch my dealings so closely, my threads so intensively and monitor my words for so long. It really is quite an honor to know that someone thinks so highly of me!!!

By the way Bob, Aren't you the guy that recently asked me to restore your two steering wheels? And talked on the phone with me for almost an hour, telling me what a great job I did?

DO you honestly think I would insult a potential customer? Or possibly I had no idea about your thread or your slam and maybe I was simply responding to the OP?

And exactly WHAT "leader" am I following?

Since I have not seen either the wheels or any money, I will consider that you no longer wish to engage my services and have taken the business for your 66 & 68 steering wheels elsewhere.

I wish you the best of luck, I am certain you will need it

Dart Dr. be greatful the Feds haven't taken over the Internet (that al gore created) and commanded Joeychgo to implement some sorta socialist F.A.B.Omacare classifieds program that FORCES you to buy them overpriced parts from Super-D or FINES you if you refuse !
