From a buyers point of view this is all wrong.
Site rules
5) All For Sale ads must have a price for each item! Ads without prices for everything must be listed as "Make Offer". This includes links to eBay items unless a buy now price is available and posted in the ad.
10) Everyone loves pictures. While pictures are not mandatory, they are highly encouraged for items for sale or trade. Post a picture!
1: goes againt the site rules, see rule 5
2: you are asking me to buy somthing site unseen
3: you are asking me to buy somthing as is and no returns
4: you are asking me to pay for somthing that will be shipped when the seller gets around to it
5: sublimial blackmail. If you get nedative resposes you are threatning to pull the add
[Quote: if its too much BS then we will retract this thread. Unquote]
6: All of the above goes against the most basic rule of buying. Buyer Beware
Allegro you may have all the best intentions and be the most honest person in the world.........but honestly if you saw this add would you buy these parts unseen, as is, with no returns.
Why cant you get some photos and help the old guy out and if you make a couple of dollars for your time and the parts are still cheep then what is wrong with that
as for "cant win for trying "
Post his Name, phone no and address.
Someone will be smart enough to buy the whole lot and resell. The old guy gets the money, no labour if it is a pick up. Chances are the stuff left out side will not be worth much, rust, seized engines. The parts stored inside could be got for less if sold in bulk and again the old guy gets the money and the parts can still be sold of cheeper than ebay.
Come on Allegro40, if you really want to help out then share and stop spitting the dummy
nice!!! and why should we trust you????
Yeah you got a point, lets see it from my point. I really liked this forum, no posers and just a down to earth group of guys building their bikes. The feeling I got from the classifieds was there was not allot of money to go towards peoples builds and was offering an option albeit it was not a good well thought through option (now looking back) it was an option non the less.I personally have bought $300 worth of parts sight unseen from one of the newer members on this site, nice guy good intentions and hey he did'nt burn me, what a surprise ......not . I dont expect you guys to trust me, I know there are people on here I have helped out with parts at a very reasonable price. And I hope they will keep me in mind for future parts. But you two seem the be the only pickles in the patch, and I have little time for your rebuttal.If you feel threatened its only because you got burned and prefer to hold on to that thought when dealing with others on this site,I got burned too but guess what not from anyone on this site and most cases I just flip and resell the parts to people that are looking and take the loss. I personally think most guys on here are on the up and up. But there is a point that I get to when I dont step back and let things slide as is the case with you two (2). And thats my integrity you question, if you lamely think I will just sit here and take flack ....... well.
in short I'm through talking, time to get back to work. good luck all the best to ya
