$400 starter... ??? .. (mechanical for sale..)
You mean other than, like Myself, We've missed a golden opportunity to make a cool $8K for the modest investment of 5 cans of Gumout??? Nope!!$400 starter... ??? .. (mechanical for sale..)
And yet if you comment about it in the for sale thread your post will get deleted & you get a note telling you that your a bad person....I thought this guy's lost his marbles...
But then I thought I don't know everything about mopar so maybe I was missing something...
Turns out my first thought was probably correct..
Sad there can't be a little monitoring so some newbie doesn't get caught in this...
If "some newbie" doesn't have enough SENSE to look and see what things sell for on the web with the computer AT HIS FINGERTIPS, maybe he needs to "get caught in this". I have little sympathy.I thought this guy's lost his marbles...

He is a young guy trying to build his project and his wife checks the bank acct, every day to be sure he did not spend any money. Give the kid a break!
63 young? man you sure are an old fartHe is a young guy trying to build his project and his wife checks the bank acct, every day to be sure he did not spend any money. Give the kid a break!
Well ...........maybe.....................perhaps..............it had A LOT of grease on it.He's free to ask whatever he thinks it's worth...
Indeed.That would be cause to seek a different wife.
Heck at 75 I am almost old enough to be the dad! OK so I have a sarcastic sense of humor!63 young? man you sure are an old fart
Nice, respectful reply keeping your ahead "above" the water instead of "tanking". I see you've sold a lot of things here already. Good luck with your future sales and your car.Thanks for all the comments.
If you wanted to educate me, you could always PM directly. I would listen and respond.
Newbie? Yes. Owned my Dart for 6 years.
What does my age, marital status or bank account have to do with it? By the way, you missed on all three.
My internet search showed a rusty starter for $250 and a restored starter for $600. Apparently, I am way off the mark with my price. Lesson learned.
I joined this forum to learn about my car and buy and sell parts. It's been a great experience, so far. Thanks to all who have contributed to my education including Rusty. Several members have helped me directly, GTX John and 72 bluNblu. Thanks, guys.
Hoping you all have a great Fourth of July celebrating our great country.

You can always PM the seller and warn them of the problem and give them a chance to correct their ad, sometimes they aren't knowledgeable enough and make an honest mistake.And yet if you comment about it in the for sale thread your post will get deleted & you get a note telling you that your a bad person....
I.ve seen a number of items mis-identified, being sold as something they aren't... I'd like to comment & hopefully protect someone who doesn't know any better... But nope, not allowed...
Have you ever been cursed out for trying to help anybody out?..You can always PM the seller and warn them of the problem and give them a chance to correct their ad, sometimes they aren't knowledgeable enough and make an honest mistake.
Have you ever been cursed out for trying to help anybody out?..
We're dealing with the public here, and we definitely don't know what kind of response you're going to get even if you're helping out...
For instance, the time that I asked what made the chevy chavette rare??.. As the email came back completely cursing me out re affirming his claim in the ad that it had the original handbook in the glove box... And it was worth every penny that he was asking...( Which was completely outrageous and I will bet the farm that he didn't get it...)
This is only one example where I tried to politely understand The asking price. I'm just not confronting people about it anymore.. This is like one out of a hundred where I said anything because it was so gosh darn outrageous...
