Most computer FS forums I go to don't tolerate lowballing, or even negotiating inside the thread. PM or emailing somebody really isn't that hard.

Were going to eliminate the low balling by removing users rights to reply to threads in the classifieds.
On a side note, its a real hassle dealing with some of the kids on various forums. Tire kickers and dreamers. Waiting on bank loans or their parents to say its ok to buy a mustang... Its a real joke... and not all are kids.... but what can you do :confused: |

i think its due to Dreamanitus :laugh:
Worst part is, so many people are suspect. Like they call and just say "give me your address and where is the car parked" Ok, sure, you havent given me a name, you called CALL BLOCK and you havent given your number or even asked anything other than for my addy and where the car is parked... :laugh: :knock_tee Yea right, enough crooks out there willing to jack a car, im not going to offer directions.. .. Or the other great thing you see in classifieds is people selling, who when you want to go buy either say they dont want to sell it anymore, or raised the price becuase their buddy has offered them more 2 weeks from then :D |

My girls 2000 Civic was stolen a while back and its resale was like $10,000 MAYBE. Insurance company gave her $12,500 because they determined that they figure it was worth that much to replace it. I nearly died when I heard her father say the insurance company offered her "replacement value" over the cars actual value. Imagine getting replacement value for your car if it was stolen :laugh: Or the other great thing you see in classifieds is people selling, who when you want to go buy either say they dont want to sell it anymore, or raised the price becuase their buddy has offered them more 2 weeks from then :D |

For a newer cars (higher insurance value than older cars with $$$ invested) that your not attached to and are selling for specific purposes, it really doesn't matter how you get rid of it, just that you get rid of it and collect money in the process. Someone wants to steal it, be my guest.

There are also a lot of cases of people trying to sell items for a lot more than they are worth. Hacked up xbox's for more than they are new in futureshop, and the entire car audio for sale forum are pretty good examples. It's kind of a cycle, people ask too much, so they get low-balled, so they ask for more next time, so they get ever lower offers...

Are you really in Japan, dude hook me up with some cheap parts. |
